New Zealand Star Pushes Shubman Gill Out Of Top Three In ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings, Rohit Sharma Holds On To Top Spot

Shubman Gill has been experiencing a tough time in international cricket lately, especially in white-ball games. After his stellar show in the Anderson-Trophy series, the youngster hasn't been able to live up to his talent in the ODI and the T20I format. He did face a lot of criticism when he was assigned the role of an opener in T20Is, but he hasn't been consistent so far, despite being the vice-captain of the side.

Shubman debuted as India's ODI skipper in the three-match Australia series and he was expected to score big runs, considering the conditions 'Down Under', but he failed to score big runs. India are already on their road to the 2027 ODI World Cup and skipper Shubman Gill's form with the bat as an opener will be crucial to the 'Men in Blue's' hopes of winning their third World Cup.

Gill has been replaced by New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell, who climbed up two places to reach the number three spot.
