Babar Azam climbs to number 3 in ICC ODI rankings after World Cup 2019 group stage
Kohli remains on top but Rohit bridges the gap
India captain Virat Kohli has retained the top position among batsmen after scoring five half-centuries in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 but opener Rohit Sharma has bridged the gap in the latest update to the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings after a stupendous run in the league stage of the 10-team tournament.
Kohli’s 442 runs at an average of 63.14 have seen him gain one point and reach 891 points while Rohit has bridged the gap from 51 points to only six after becoming the first batsman to score five centuries in the World Cup. His 885 points going into the semi-finals are a career-high.
There have been many other notable movements too, with Pakistan’s Babar Azam going up to third place, just behind his career-high second place achieved in June 2018, and Australia opener David Warner re-entering at number six after a highly successful group stage that saw him aggregate 638 runs, just nine less than leading scorer Rohit.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson’s consistent efforts have seen him rise four places and back into the top-10 at eighth place while Australia’s Usman Khawaja has risen to a career-high 15th place. England openers Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow have both risen in the rankings with Roy reaching a career-best 13th place.
Australia’s wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey and South Africa’s Rassie van der Dussen, who has come in for a lot of praise from captain Faf du Plessis, have also achieved career-best rankings of 34 and 30, after gains of 54 and 32 places, respectively.
In other movements among batsmen, Sri Lanka’s Avishka Fernando has risen a whopping 110 places to 85th place, West Indies’ Nicholas Pooran has risen to 92nd from outside the top 400, while Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has reached a career-best batting points tally of 692.
India’s new-ball bowler Jasprit Bumrah has extended his lead at the top from 21 points to 56 points after grabbing 17 wickets in the nine league matches at the World Cup, with Boult remaining in second place after a memorable league phase that included a hat-trick against Australia, the first ever in ODI cricket at Lord’s.
Afghanistan spinners Mujeeb-ur-Rahman and Rashid Khan remain in the top-10 despite their team losing all matches, while Australia’s Mitchell Starc and Mohammad Amir have improved despite not coming into the tournament with many impressive performances.
The England pair of Jofra Archer (up 103 places to 42) and Mark Wood (up 10 places to 19), as well as rising Pakistan star Shaheen Afridi (up 34 places to 23rd) are among the others to gain in the latest rankings update.
Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan has retained the top spot among all-rounders, while England’s Ben Stokes has gained nine places to reach second position.
In the MRF Tyres ICC ODI Team Rankings, England remain in first position at 123 points but only ahead of India on decimal points, while New Zealand and Australia are similarly both on 112 with the former fractionally ahead, and South Africa fifth on 110 points.

Tells you how good Kohli has been. Rohit has tried all things but still can't get past kohli in ranking and i don't think he will have same patch again in his career so mostly like this is closest he will get to kohli in terms of ranking.

Good to see Babar improving day by day. That NZ innings I believe was what needed for him to go to the next level.
Imam has to be appreciated as well in just 1and half years he is one step away from top 10 rankings.
Bowlers also improved in the WC and hopefully they can continue such performances throughout the next season as well.

Positives on ODI Rankings:
Babar on #3 (Batting)
Imam on #11 (Batting)
Amir on #12 (Bowling)
Shaheen on #23 (Bowling)
Imad on #4 (All rounder)
Negatives:
Fakhar on #17 (Batting), he used to be on #9 before this WC started.
At least a few players found some form in this WC. Really happy for Babar, Amir and Shaheen.

He’s only performed poorly in AUS and WI.
He averages 35+ in NZ, SA, UAE, IRE, and he was 68* in his only innings in ENG (retired hurt).
This is only after two-and-a-half years in Test cricket.
You must also keep in mind that PAK barley plays any Tests compared to other Test-playing nations.
Last year, we played a grand total of FOUR Tests, so he has a hard time adjusting to the format.
He’s ranked 1st in T20 and 3rd in ODI; so give him time in the Test format.

Babar gotta improve his game against spin to be good in Tests. There is an air of uncertainty when he plays the spin.

No. But they certainly don't play as much. Infact none of the top teams take bilateral T-20s seriously. Babar will find it hard to pip Kohli and Sharma because India play a lot more ODIs and also they are far more consistent than Babar - who is just beginning to show consistency. We'll have to see how long that lasts.

Babar needs to work on his consistency. He has this tendency of having brain fade moments when he throws away his wicket when bowling is at his mercy. If he can overcome this weakness then he will be a very dangerous batsman indeed.
As an Indian fan, I find his wicket as the most priced wicket when India plays Pakistan.Last edited by latecut; 8th July 2019 at 12:25.

Consistency will get you rankings. Amla proved it already 9 years back. He was there at the peak for so long without playing any significant defining innings where he bossed an attack. A steady accumulator with a better strike rate than Babar Azam. Babar is very close to Amla in a lot of ways. The way he paces the inning has to improve dramatically.

I am merely talking about characteristics of their batting style. In that particular small chase his steady approach was never going to hurt them with them playing only one spinner and had to use Kane as a bowler for the most part. By and large their batting is more about steady accumulation.

Another quick proxy - check the highest career ratings. I don't mean to suggest Babar is not good - its just that his best chance was during the last 12 mos, if he was goign to go past Kohli during the latter's playing days. Absence of Smith and Warner was also a factor, which will no longer be the case. You already have Warner with 4 100s in the WC. As good as Babar has been, do you honestly see him staying ahead of Warner and Smith for long?

Okay Lets talk About This .
Ross Taylor Debut 2006
Kohli debut 2008
Rohit Sharma debut 2007
Willamson Debut 2010
Warner Debut 2009
Smith Debut 2010
And Now
Babar Azam Debut 2015 May
We shouldn't Compare Babar To Anyone From Previous Decade Instead Compare him To Someone Who is In The Same Bracket as him Someone like Root There is a difference of 4 years Root Debut 2013 January
Apart from Root I Dont See anyone Who Plays All Formats And This Consistent Shai Hope Had A Fantastic Year But Failed In WC
Babar Average since 2018 jan
Test 50.5
ODI 50 (And Thats One Tour On Which he Completely Failed 2018 NZ Tour In Which He Failed To Score even 10 In 5 matches)
T20 59
Now show me Any other players who Debut recently or In 5 years span Who is Close To babar ? Seriously

I wrote tests too. Babar imo is already a better test batsmen than Sharma but doesn't play enough tests to prove this. Babar is young while the Indian duo are in the last 1/4 of their careers. They will decline while Babar will reach his peak and overtake them, unless they retire early.

Far more likely that they will continue to eclipse him till they retire. Babar has a LONG way to go before he becomes a #1 bat in tests - he has hardly done anything of substance. Being better than Sharma at tests is not an achievement. He has to get past Fab 4 + Warner + Pujara and many more including some Bangladesh batsmen!

In ODIs I dont agree. No matter how good you are you will decline as you get older and towards the end of your career. The fab 4 are all 30+ exc Root who is 28. Babar is 24 and will reach his peak in another 3/4 years, by then the fab four will be in decline. There is also a possibilty Babar could have a purple patch in the next 18-24 months and over take them in the ODI rankings.

The NZ innings could be the game where he takes his game to the next level. Really want to see him improve in tests, improve his strike rotation, and win more games against top teams.

Easily my g Warner will remain class as usual but smith after the ban has been declining and declining for good he couldn’t even lay bat on ball in the IPL and it is also being shown in the World Cup he will be a goner from the Aussie team soon it’s just a matter of time

Baber is at 3 even in ODIs. Shows class of young promising batsman who is rising.
Regarding t20s not taking seriously. Indians do take it seriously and most of the times they play their best XI so you can't say this for Ind. Other teams like SA, Eng and Aus do experiments which is true.

He is a gritty player. But expect Kohli, Sharma, Faf and Warner to rule the roost for some more years. Bairstow is also getting there.
Babar is improving but we are going to see new set of batsmen emerging before the next WC. They all look very talented. It's not going to be easy for Babar.

Yes. It will be the key to his growth. Remember the guy named Trott who was averaging 54 at a strike rate of 80 at one point in his career. Won ICC awards. He was once ranked 3rd in ICC ODI ranking. Ranked 8th in all time ODI averages.(min 20 innings) In terms of average his career was not that bad. Finished with an average of 51. That guy hardly had any power game. An one-dimensional batsman. Nobody remembers him now.

I hope you know, that missing matches results in deduction of rating points. Only reason why Kohli is nowhere to be seen among top 5, even after being at pole position for a significant time when he used to play it regularly.
