India’s dominance in the IND vs SA ODI series reshapes ICC rankings with Rohit at No. 1, Kohli close behind, Kuldeep rising, and Axar entering the all-rounders' top ten.
The ICC ODI rankings saw a major reshuffle after the conclusion of the high-intensity India vs South Africa ODI series in 2025, with Indian players making a powerful statement across all categories. The series not only highlighted India’s dominance but also reflected immediately in the updated ICC rankings for batting, bowling, and all-rounders.
ICC ODI Batting Rankings
Indian captain Rohit Sharma reclaimed the No. 1 position in the ICC ODI batting rankings with a rating of 781. His calm leadership and steady run scoring across the series helped him stay ahead of the competition. Rohit accumulated 146 runs in three matches and played crucial starts that set the tone for India.
Virat Kohli followed closely at No. 2 with 773 rating points. Kohli was the heartbeat of India’s batting throughout the series. He smashed a commanding 135 off 120 balls in the first ODI, followed it up with a fluent 102 from 93 balls in the second, and then guided the chase in the third ODI with an unbeaten 65 off 54 balls. His consistency and match awareness earned him the Player of the Series award and reinforced why he remains one of the finest ODI batters ever.
