ICC ODI Rankings 2025: Shubman Gill No.1, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh Climb Up

The ICC's latest ODI rankings underline India’s batting strength while highlighting impressive jumps by several Australian batters after the Mackay match.

Shubman Gill continues to lead the ODI batting charts, holding on to the top slot with 784 rating points. Despite a quiet period for Team India in 50-over cricket, Gill’s consistency has kept him at No.1. Following him are Rohit Sharma at 756 and Pakistan’s Babar Azam at 739. Virat Kohli rounds out the top four with 736 points.

Why Australia’s Batters Climbed the Ladder

Australia’s three-match ODI series with South Africa ended 2–1 in favour of South Africa, but the final game at Mackay turned into a batting spectacle. Australia posted a massive 431 for 2 in that match and several individual performances translated into noticeable ranking gains.

Travis Head led the charge with a blistering 142, moving up the charts to reach the 11th spot. Mitchell Marsh struck a century and climbed four places to land at 44. Cameron Green, unbeaten on 118, made the biggest leap — jumping around 40 places to reach the high 70s in the list. Josh Inglis also benefited from a strong 87-run knock earlier in the series, moving up by more than 20 places.

ICC ODI Bowling Rankings : A Tied Number one Position

The newest update of the ICC ODI Bowling Rankings has resulted in a tie for the number one spot. Sri Lanka’s Maheesh Theekshana has caught up with South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj, with both spinners locked on 671 rating points.

Maharaj picked up 1/57 in the final ODI of the South Africa vs Australia series, just enough to allow Theekshana — who has not featured in recent games — to join him at the summit of the ODI bowling chart.

Lungi Ngidi Breaks Into the Top 30

Another major highlight for South Africa is the rise of Lungi Ngidi. The pacer claimed seven wickets across the series and jumped six spots to 28th place in the updated table. His accuracy and wicket-taking ability made him one of the standout bowlers of the week.

Indian Bowlers Keeping Their Ground

Even though India hasn’t featured much in recent ODIs, their bowlers continue to be highly rated. Kuldeep Yadav holds onto the third spot among bowlers with 650 points, and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja sits comfortably at 9th with 616 points. This balance between top-tier batting and reliable bowling keeps India in a strong position heading into future tournaments.

Quick Summary

The latest rankings make these things clear:

• India remains the benchmark in ODI batting, led by Shubman Gill.
• Australia’s top-order firepower — Head, Marsh and Green — is showing up in the numbers after the Mackay explosion.
• Keshav Maharaj and Maheesh Theekshana are now joint No.1 bowlers in ODIs.
• Lungi Ngidi has broken into the top 30, further boosting South Africa’s bowling attack.
• The competition for the No.1 spot remains intense, with both spinners and pacers in contention.

Bottom line: With Gill, Rohit and Kohli occupying the top slots, India’s batting looks solid. Meanwhile, Australia’s players are rapidly climbing the rankings, setting up an exciting rivalry as we move towards major ICC events.
