Indian captain Rohit Sharma has reached to second place in the ICC ODI rankings and is moving closer to Pakistan’s white-ball captain, Babar Azam.

Babar faces fresh competition from Rohit and Sri Lankan right-hander Pathum Nissanka even though he maintains a strong lead at the top of the list for ODI batters.

After scoring a series-best 157 runs against Sri Lanka, Rohit surpassed his teammate Shubman Gill, while Nissanka also moved up to eighth place following his 101 runs in the same series.

Sri Lanka ended a 27-year drought by defeating India for the first time since 1997 during that ODI series. Kusal Mendis (up five places to joint 39th) and Avishka Fernando (up 20 places to 68th) also made gains on the latest list for 50-over batsmen.

Hard-hitting Netherlands opener Max O’Dowd (up 10 places to 54th) and US’s Monank Patel (up 11 places to joint 56th) also advanced on this list, while US’s Nosthush Kenjige (up 10 places to 49th) and Sri Lankan spinner Dunith Wellalage (up 17 places to 59th) were among the notable movers in the ODI rankings for bowlers.

There was also some movement in the latest Test player rankings, following the draw between the West Indies and South Africa in Trinidad.

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma has achieved a new career-high rating, moving up two places to 16th on the Test batters’ list after scores of 86 and 15* against the West Indies. Meanwhile, opener Tony de Zorzi has climbed 29 places to 85th following an impressive 78 in the first innings of the ICC World Test Championship match.

From a West Indies perspective, Jason Holder (up three spots to 67th) and Alick Athanaze (up 12 places to 76th) were notable movers among the Test batters. South African spinner Keshav Maharaj was the standout performer on the latest list for Test bowlers.

Maharaj took four wickets in each innings, earning Player of the Match honours and climbing seven places to joint 21st as a result.

Spinner Jomel Warrican climbed 12 spots to 54th and achieved a new career-best rating following his six wickets in the match.

Sharma tops the run-scoring charts in the first two matches of India’s three-match series against Sri Lanka, scoring two half-centuries and accumulating 122 runs at a striking rate of 134.06.

The 37-year-old hit a swift 64 in the second game of the series in Colombo, elevating his ODI batter ranking to third place with 763 rating points, just 61 points behind Babar Azam.

Shubman Gill remains in second place despite scoring only 51 runs in the first two matches against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, Axar Patel’s 77 runs in the series have propelled him up 35 places to 178th in the ODI batter rankings.

From the Sri Lankan camp, Janith Liyanage has climbed 10 spots to 76th, and opener Avishka Fernando has moved up nine places to 88th in the rankings.

India announce new captain for T20Is as they name…

India have appointed Suryakumar Yadav as the captain of their men’s T20I team for the tour of Sri Lanka later this month, with Shubman Gill named as the vice-captain of both the T20I and ODI sides.

The middle-order batter, who has played 68 T20Is, led the team against Australia and South Africa last year in the absence of key players but has now been handed the reins of the team in the shortest format.

The T20I squad has a familiar look with several T20 World Cup stars like Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, and Axar Patel returning after missing the Zimbabwe series.

Jasprit Bumrah has been rested from the tour, while the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will play in the ODIs.

India’s forthcoming white-ball tour of Sri Lanka marks Gautam Gambhir’s debut assignment as the team’s new coach. Gambhir steps into this role following Rahul Dravid’s departure after leading the team to victory in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

This will be the first time since 2021 that India will travel to Sri Lanka for a bilateral series.

Meanwhile, the ODI squad features Riyan Parag, who made his debut in the T20I series in Zimbabwe. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are the wicketkeepers, with Sanju Samson missing out.

Pacer Harshit Rana, who impressed in the IPL 2024 season for the title winners Kolkata Knight Riders, is included in the ODI squad alongside Khaleel Ahmed.

T20I Squad: Suryakumar Yadav (c), Ꮪhubman Gill (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh, Riyan Parag, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sanju Samson (WK), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Khaleel Ahmed, Mohammed Siraj.
