Two of India's top ODI players, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, vanished from the ICC rankings when the latest ODI batting rankings update was shared on Wednesday, August 20. The Indian pair appeared to have been omitted from the ICC ODI rankings.
Just one week has passed since Rohit rose to the second position in the ODI rankings. Kohli, on the other hand, was in fourth position with 736 points. With 756 points, Shubman Gill continued to be the best batter in the format and topped the ODI rankings.
Pakistan's Babar Azam is now at the No. 2 spot in the new rankings, which most likely resulted from a system error. As of August 20, 2025, Sharma and Kohli are still playing ODI cricket.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma last played an ODI for India when they participated in the Champions Trophy in the United Arab Emirates. India won their first ICC ODI trophy after 11 years, thanks to an incredible performance by Rohit in the tournament's final, where he scored 76 runs to lay a solid foundation for a stiff chase.
On the other hand, Kohli was outstanding during the tournament, hitting a century against Pakistan in the group stage and then making a sublime 84 against Australia in the semi-final.
Here is the updated ICC ODI rankings with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli missing:
