Virat Kohli moves to eighth, Ishan Kishan jumps 117 places to 37 in ODI rankings

Dubai, December 14

Star India batter Virat Kohli has moved up two rungs to the eighth position, while young opener Ishan Kishan rocketed 117 spots to 37th place in the latest ICC rankings released on Wednesday.

Kohli has been rewarded for scoring his first ODI hundred in more than three years in a match against Bangladesh recently, while Kishan made huge gains following his fastest ODI double-century in the same match.

The former India captain had scored a 91-ball 113 in the third and final ODI against Bangladesh in Chattogram on Saturday. It was his first hundred in the 50-over format since August 2019.

Left-handed opener Kishan, on the other hand, had slammed a record-breaking 210 off 131 balls.

Shreyas Iyer, too, advanced from 20th to 15th in the batting chart following his score of 82 in the second match of the series in Dhaka.

Among bowlers, Indian pacer Mohammad Siraj gained four places to 22nd in the ODI ranking for India, while Bangladesh spin allrounder Shakib al Hasan was up one place to eighth.

Bangladesh’s Mehidy Hasan Miraz has moved up three places to third in the all-rounders’ list.

In the Test rankings, Aussie batter Marnus Labuschagne consolidated his position at the top with a career-best 937 rating points after compiling his third three-figure knock in the two-match series against the West Indies.
