Kohli Set to Lose No.1 Spot in ICC ODI Rankings

Despite scoring a century in the IND vs NZ 3rd ODI, Virat Kohli is likely to lose the No.1 spot in the ICC Men’s ODI Batting Rankings. New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell will replace him as the new No.1 ODI batter, as he played fantastic cricket against India in ODIs. As of now, Darly Mitchell is at the No.1 spot in the ICC Men’s ODI Batting Rankings, but on Wednesday (Jan 21), he will be the new No.1 ODI batter.

However, after India lost the three-match ODI series against New Zealand by 2-1, they are still the No.1 ODI Team in the latest ICC ODI Team Standings with a rating of 119, while New Zealand is in second spot with a rating of 114. Both teams played good cricket, but New Zealand outsmarted India in some areas.

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma, who was the No.1 ODI batter last month, now slips to the third spot in the ICC ODI Rankings. Rohit didn’t perform well in this series; he was able to score only 61 runs in three matches. However, Virat Kohli scored 240 runs in three games, including an exceptional knock of 124 runs off 108 balls in the third ODI.
