Shubman Gill reaches fourth spot on ICC ODI rankings

In the latest round of ICC rankings update, India's Shubman Gill, with 743 rating points, has found himself in the fourth spot ahead of Fakhar Zaman (740). Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who didn't partake in the ODI series against West Indies after the first ODI, are placed at the ninth and 11th spot, respectively.

Pakistan's impressive triumph over Afghanistan in the first ODI in Hambantota has seen a host of their players rewarded on the latest  CC Men's ODI Player Rankings. Babar Azam's side issued an ominous warning ahead of this year's ICC Men's Cricket World Cup with a superb 142-run victory over their Asian rivals on Tuesday, with Imam-ul-Haq and Haris Rauf among the star performers in the contest.

Babar (880 rating points) leads South Africa hard-hitter Rassie van der Dussen (777), with Imam (752) closing in on second place following his 17th half-century in international ODI cricket.

There was also some movement within the latest T20I rankings following the completion of UAE's series against New Zealand and the first two matches of Ireland's series with India.

Mark Chapman was the leading run-scorer for the series with 126 runs and that saw the left-hander jump eight places to 24th overall on the list for T20I batters, with India Suryakumar Yadav holding on to the No.1 position despite the fact he is sitting out the series against Ireland.

It helped compatriot Ruturaj Gaikwad make a strong impression and the right-hander improved a whopping 143 places to equal 87th following his half-century in the second match against Ireland in Dublin.

There is more joy for India in the T20I bowler rankings, with Ravi Bishnoi improving 17 places to equal 65th following consecutive two-wicket hauls against the Irish, while star pacer Jasprit Bumrah jumps seven spots to 84th following an impressive return from injury.
