Riding on his third ODI double century in the recently concluded series against Sri Lankan, India’s stand-in captain Rohit Sharma has climbed up to the fifth position in the latest International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Rankings for batsmen in ODIs.
India won the three-match series 2-1 𒈔by winning the final ODI by 8 wickets in Visakh𓆉apatnam on Sunday.
Rohit crossed the 800-point mark for the first time in the ICC rankings to attain his career-best rating. His currently tally stands at 816, thanks to his 208 in the second match against Sri Lanka in Mohali. However, it’s not Rohit’s career-best ranking as he was No. 3 in February 2016.
