Babar Azam takes over Virat Kohli to become no. 1 ODI batsman

Pakistan captain Babar Azam has taken over India’s Virat Kohli to become number one one-day international (ODI) batsman in the latest player rankings released by International Cricket Council (ICC) today.

The 26-year-old is on the top with 865 rating points while the Indian skipper moved one place down and is ranked second with 857 points.



 





According to the cricket governing body, Babar’s match-winning performance against South Africa in the third and final ODI against South Africa helped him gain 13 rating points.

The batsman had started the three-match ODI series 20 points behind Kohli and finished eight points ahead of the India batsman, earning 28 points in the series in which he scored 228 runs.

Babar is only the fourth Pakistani batsman to achieve the feat; emulating compatriots Zaheer Abbas, Javed Miandad and Mohammad Yousuf.
