India’s star batter Shubman Gill retained the top spot in the latest update of the ICC rankings for men’s ODI batters. In addition, Afghanistan’s rising all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai rose to the top of the all-rounder’s rankings after his phenomenal display at the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Star batter Virat Kohli once again displayed why he is rated so highly in white-ball cricket, more so in big-ticket tournaments, and as the master of run-chases, with his gritty half century helping India beat Australia by four wickets in the high-pressure semifinal of the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai on Tuesday.
Riding on Virat Kohli's 84, KL Rahul (42 not out) and Hardik Pandya (28 off 24 balls) gave the finishing touches to India's chase of 265 to progress to the final of the eight-team competition.
With the Indian top order of Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer firing on all cylinders heading into their semifinal clash against Australia on Tuesday, Aussie skipper Steve Smith hailed his opponent batters’ ability to change gears.
Kohli, who is regarded as one of the modern-day greats, has so far scored 70 international centuries.
However, Virat Kohli also pointed out that if the changes were put to effect, it won't be hard for the players to acclimatise with the new challenges.
Kohli said it was one of a string of innings he had at the time which gave him the confidence of doing well against any bowling attack in the world.
Kohli also felt that the restrictions that come with fame is higher today than it was for stars before him because of the proliferation of social media.
Kohli feels that Dhoni's observation of how he developed over the course of his career went a long way in him eventually taking the mantle.
