Written by Vishwas Gupta

India stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma moved up in the latest ICC ODI men’s rankings for batters on Wednesday after producing a batting masterclass against Sri Lanka in the first ODI in Guwahati.

Kohli scored a stunning hundred in India’s victory against Sri Lanka in the first ODI in Guwahati and has moved up two spots to 6th. Rohit Sharma also scored an aggressive 83 and has gained a spot to sit at 8th. Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka scored a fighting ton despite his side losing and has gained 20 spots to move to 61.  

In the bowling charts, Mohammed Siraj is the biggest gainer after scalping two wickets in the first ODI, moving up four spots to 18. In the T20I rankings charts, Suryakumar Yadav continued his reign at the top of the batting charts, driven by his brilliant century in the third T20I against Sri Lanka. 

On the other hand, Usman Khawaja, following his stunning century in the third and final Test against South Africa in Sydney, moved up to 8th in the Men’s Test batters’ rankings.

Khawaja was unbeaten on 195, missing out on his double ton as skipper Pat Cummins declared to force a result in a rain-curtailed contest. Khawaja’s exploits saw him gain four spots and break into the top 10.
