Shubman Gill regained the No. 1 spot in the latest ICC ODI batting rankings, while 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi surged 230 places to 48th in the T20I batting charts after a stellar series against Zimbabwe. Ishan Kishan retained the No. 1 T20I batting ranking, with Tilak Varma, Shreyas Iyer, and Ravi Bishnoi also making significant gains in the latest ICC rankings.

Dubai: India's dominance in the latest ICC rankings was underlined on Wednesday as Shubman Gill regained the No. 1 spot among ODI batters, while 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi emerged as the biggest mover in the T20I batting charts after a breakthrough series against Zimbabwe.

Fresh off India's 3-0 clean sweep in Harare, Sooryavanshi enjoyed a spectacular leap of 230 places to break into the top 50 of the T20I batting rankings for the first time. The teenager climbed to a career-best 48th with 536 rating points after accumulating 151 runs at an average of 50.33 and earning his maiden Player of the Series award.

Despite the youngster's rapid ascent, the top of the T20I batting rankings continues to belong to India, with wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan retaining the No. 1 position. Kishan, who struck a commanding 81 during the Zimbabwe series, now has 910 rating points after briefly touching a career-high 916 during the contest. That peak placed him third on the all-time T20I batting ratings list, behind only compatriot Abhishek Sharma (931) and England's Dawid Malan (919).

India also enjoyed gains elsewhere in the T20I batting rankings. Tilak Varma advanced two places to sixth, while Shreyas Iyer climbed seven positions to 24th. Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi was another major beneficiary, soaring 31 spots to 41st in the T20I bowling rankings after claiming three wickets across the Zimbabwe series.
