Dubai, June 25: India opener Shubman Gill climbed to second place in the latest ICC ODI Batter rankings, while New Zealand pacer Matt Henry joined India’s Jasprit Bumrah at the summit of the Test Bowling rankings following stellar performances across formats.
There was also a change at the top of the Test batting rankings, with England veteran Joe Root reclaiming the No.1 position. Root’s scores of 46 and 77 against New Zealand helped him move up two places and overtake teammate Harry Brook and Australia’s Travis Head to return to the summit for the 12th time in his career.
Gill gained three places after his recent performances and now sits second among ODI batters, just 24 rating points behind top-ranked Daryl Mitchell. Fellow India batter Ishan Kishan also made significant progress, jumping 21 places to move to joint 43rd in the ODI batting rankings.
India’s bowlers enjoyed notable gains as well following the completion of the ODI series against Afghanistan. Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh rose 16 places to 22nd among ODI bowlers, while Prasidh Krishna surged 34 spots to joint 58th. All-rounder Washington Sundar climbed 17 places to joint 71st in the same list. (IANS)
