King Kohli Roars! Closing in on Top ODI Spot!

Virat Kohli is making headlines again! The Indian batting maestro is breathing down Rohit Sharma's neck in the latest ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings. After a magnificent 135 off 120 balls against South Africa in Ranchi, Kohli has jumped to fourth position, amassing 751 rating points. He's now just 32 points shy of his teammate, Rohit Sharma, who currently holds the coveted top spot.

Kohli's stellar performance not only helped India secure a victory but also showcased his enduring form and hunger for runs. This century, his 83rd in international cricket, is a testament to his dedication and skill. It's been a while since Kohli held the number one position, with Babar Azam taking over in April 2021. Can Kohli reclaim his throne in the ODIs?

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, despite scoring 57 in the same match, maintains his lead. New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell and Afghanistan's Ibrahim Zadran follow closely behind in second and third place, respectively. Shubman Gill, unfortunately sidelined due to injury, has slipped to fifth.

Kuldeep Yadav Climbs the Ranks

It's not just Kohli making waves. Kuldeep Yadav, the veteran left-arm spinner, has also climbed the ODI Bowling Rankings, moving up one spot to sixth. His impressive performance, including four wickets in the high-scoring match against South Africa, has earned him 641 rating points. He is now the highest ranked bowler for India.

What's Next?

• Will Virat Kohli dethrone Rohit Sharma and reclaim the top spot?
• How will the rest of the ODI series against South Africa impact the rankings?
• Can Kuldeep Yadav continue his upward trajectory in the bowling rankings?
