The Indian duo closed in on star Pakistan batter Babar Azam who maintained a narrow lead at the top of the chart

India batter Shubman Gill's whirlwind form in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 ended Babar Azam's reign as the world's No. 1 ODI batter.

Babar's lead at the top of the Rankings with 829 points has been reduced to just six rating points as Gill closed him with 823 points

Opener Shubman Gill has achieved a career-best second position and is the highest-ranked among three Indian batters, who are now in the top 10 of the ICC Men's ODI rankings.

Gill rises to 743 rating points on the back of his excellent series against the West Indies.

The first time she reached number one position was in April 2005 after scoring an unbeaten 91 against New Zealand at the World Cup in Potchefstroom.

Kohli scored two half-centuries in the three-match ODI series against Australia which India lost 1-2 last year in December.
