Rohit Sharma became the number 1 ranked ICC One Day International (ODI) batsman for the first time in his career late last month after his heroics against Australia.
Starting off a three-match series Down Under with just 8 runs, the Hitman bounced back to score 73 in Adelaide and then an unbeaten 121 in Sydney, which saw him rise to the top spot.
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, who went down to the 6th spot, 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.
