ICC ODI Rankings: Sharma Soars, Kohli Slips After the Final
Rohit Sharma shined in the final, climbed the rankings, while Virat Kohli lost ground!
With the 2025 Champions Trophy concluded, the updated ICC ODI rankings brought a few surprises. India faced New Zealand in the final, where captain Rohit Sharma showcased his brilliance, scoring a crucial 76 runs that helped his team secure the trophy.
This performance lifted Sharma to third place in the rankings, just behind Babar Azam and Shubman Gill. Though his tournament was inconsistent, he emerged as the hero of the final.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, who had played exceptionally well throughout the tournament, faltered in the final, getting dismissed for just one run. This cost him a spot in the top four, and he now sits in fifth place, overtaken by Heinrich Klaasen.
