Virat Kohli Reclaims No. 1 Spot in ICC ODI Batting Rankings After Four Years

Virat Kohli has reclaimed the No. 1 position in the ICC men's ODI batting rankings for the 11th time, following his match-winning 93 off 91 balls against New Zealand in Vadodara. This marks his first return to the top since July 2021, with Kohli narrowly leading New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell and teammate Rohit Sharma, who slipped to third. Kohli's recent consistent performances, including multiple centuries and half-centuries, have contributed to his cumulative 825 days at No. 1, the longest for any Indian batter.
