India’s ODI captain Shubman Gill moved past teammate Virat Kohli to take no.2 spot in ICC ODI batter rankings following scores of unbeaten 84 and 154 in recently-concluded three-ODI series against Afghanistan. Kohli was ruled out of Afghanistan series due to a hamstring injury sustained in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final.
Meanwhile, Kohli has regained fitness and will have a chance to move up in the rankings when India go up against England in the three-ODI series next month.
Gill moved up three places after a big hundred against Afghanistan in Lucknow. He has 791 rating points, three more than Kohli. The top spot is still occupied by New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell. Kohli is followed by Rohit Sharma at no.4. Afghanistan's Ibrahim Zandran slipped to the fifth spot, following scores of 1, 21, and 11 in the ODI series in India.

South Africa's Quinton de Kock and India ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer took the 13th and 14th place respectively. Iyer did not have the best of runs in the series. After scores of 12 and 26, he capped off the ODI series with an unbeaten 20 in the run chase.
