Rohit Sharma's Lord's Century Lifts Him Near Top of ICC ODI Rankings

Indian captain Rohit Sharma scored a 138-run innings off 110 balls at Lord's, becoming the first Indian to hit an ODI century at the venue. The knock earned him 14 ICC ranking points, moving him to fourth place with 758 points in the ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings.

The result narrows the battle for the top spot, with New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell still leading at 802 points, Shubman Gill just one point behind at 801, and Virat Kohli on 767. Despite India losing the three‑match series 2‑1, several Indian batters rose in the rankings, while England’s Joe Root also moved up to eighth. The updated rankings reflect a tightly contested race among the leading ODI batters.
