Thursday, 14 September 2023
Indian opener Shubman Gill has moved up to a career-best No. 2 in the ICC ODI rankings for men's batters, with only Pakistan's captain Babar Azam ahead of him, according to ESPNcricinfo.
Gill scored 58 and stitched a 121-run opening partnership with captain Rohit Sharma in the Asia Cup Super Four fixture against Pakistan, which helped him move up one spot despite just 19 against Sri Lanka in the next game.
Virat Kohli, who hit an unbeaten century against Pakistan, and Rohit, who has hit 53 and 56 over the past week, after 74 not out against Nepal, have gained two places each and occupy the eighth and ninth positions, respectively.
