In the most recent ICC men's ODI batting rankings, Pakistan's leader Babar Azam has secured his place at the summit. Meanwhile, India's Virat Kohli stays in second place with a score of 857, and Rohit Sharma rounds out the top three with 825 rating points.
A brilliant 158-run performance in the concluding ODI against England allowed Babar Azam to cement his status as the world number one. This specific innings earned him an additional eight points, bringing his total to a career-best 873.
Playing at Edgbaston, the right-handed batter achieved his highest-ever ODI score, which also stands as the record for any Pakistani player facing England. Babar has also made history by becoming the quickest player to hit 14 ODI centuries, reaching the mark in only 81 innings. This feat places him ahead of other greats including Hashim Amla (84), David Warner (98), Virat Kohli (103), and Quinton de Kock (104).
After a disappointing start to the series where he struggled in the first two matches against England, Babar Azam bounced back spectacularly in the third ODI. However, despite his impressive 158 runs off 139 balls, it wasn't enough to secure a victory; Pakistan fell by three wickets, allowing England to sweep the series 3-0.
Regarding the ICC men's ODI bowling standings, India's premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is currently ranked sixth with 690 points. Additionally, Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja holds the ninth position in the all-rounder category with 245 points.
