Dubai: Shubman Gill Closes Gap with Babar Azam in ICC ODI Rankings
In the run-up to the ODI World Cup, Indian opener Shubman Gill has significantly narrowed the gap with Pakistan captain Babar Azam at the top of the ICC ODI rankings. In the latest rankings, Gill trails Babar by just 10 rating points. While Babar holds 857 rating points, Gill has accumulated 847 rating points. Last week, Gill stood at 814 rating points. However, thanks to his outstanding performance in the ODI series against Australia, Gill gained 33 rating points, propelling him right behind the reigning champion, Babar.
Trailing far behind in the third position is South Africa’s Rassie Van der Dussen, with 743 rating points. It is clear that the epic battle for the top spot in the ODI World Cup will commence next week between Babar and Gill. Had Gill played and performed well in the third ODI against Australia, he would have had the opportunity to seize the number one position before the World Cup, where he previously held the top spot.

Josh Hazlewood secures the second spot with 669 points. Had India claimed the top position in both batting and bowling before the World Cup, it would have been a rare achievement for the team.
