The latest weekly ICC ODI rankings are out, and as expected, Rohit Sharma is still the No. 1 batter in the world. The former India captain has kept his top spot with another solid performance in the recent South Africa series. 

Right behind him now is Virat Kohli, who has moved up to the No. 2 position. Notably, Virat was in outstanding form during the home ODI series against South Africa, scoring two centuries and one fifty. 

It is worth mentioning that Virat made 302 runs in just three innings, with a strike rate of 117.05 and an impressive average of 151. His brilliant batting helped India win the series 2–1 and pushed him past Daryl Mitchell and Ibrahim Zadran, jumping from No. 4 to No. 2.

Rohit also had a good series, scoring 146 runs, including two fifties. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill stayed at No. 5 in the rankings, even though he missed the series due to a neck injury.
