Now in the latest ICC ODI rankings update, the former Indian captain has maintained his grip on the position, still ranked number 1. Virat Kohli on the oter hand, who went down to the 6th spot last month, has also shown positive development, moving up the ladder.

ICC ODI Rankings Update: Where Does Kohli Stand?

Virat Kohli recorded back-to-back ducks in the Australia ODI series, first in Perth and then in Adelaide, in a very surprising turn of events.

Neverteless, the stalwart struck back strongly with an unbeaten 74-run knock in the final match against Australia, which was played in Sydney, forming a 100+ run partnership with Rohit Sharma. 

As mentioned, he was ranked 6th last month, but has now moved up to the 5th spot in the ICC ODI batsmen rankings.

Shubman Gill, India's brand new captain in the 50-over format, also had a rather poor outing against Australia in all three fixtures. However, he still remains in the top 5.
