Rohit Sharma Also Soars, Reaches The Top 3 Spot In ICC Rankings

Rohit Sharma, Team India's Test and ODI captain, is also in the number three zone after climbing in the third place after scoring a magnificent century in Cuttack, which helped him climb the ODI rankings. The skipper's 119-run innings at Cuttack's Barabati Stadium was a massive response to all of his critics. The India star's timeless knock helped him regain his form as the Men in Blue prepare for the ICC Champions Trophy , which will be held in Pakistan and the UAE. The Indian star shrugged off any concern over his form. However, he failed to capitalise on the momentum as he was dismissed at just one run in the final ODI match in Ahmedabad.

Rohit will be leading the Men in Blue as they head to Dubai for the ICC Champins Trophy in the UAE. India’s matches are expected to take place at the Dubai International Stadium, with the series opener match happening against Bangladesh.
