India's Shubman Gill has ended Pakistan captain Babar Azam's over two-year reign as the number one ranked ODI batter in the latest ICC rankings. Gill's solid start at the Cricket World Cup 2023 has propelled him to the top spot, making him the fourth Indian after Tendulkar, Dhoni and Kohli to be ranked number one. Gill has amassed 219 runs in the tournament so far, while Babar has totaled 282. Gill now has 830 rating points to Babar's 824. The 23-year-old Gill displaced Babar after narrowing the gap over recent months. His ascent represents a changing of the guard at the pinnacle of ODI batting.
