The Indian team had to face a 2-1 defeat in the three-match ODI series against Australia. After this, in the latest ODI rankings released by the ICC on Wednesday, Team India suffered a setback and the Australian team snatched that position and slipped India to number two. At the same time, Shubman Gill has retained his place in the batsmen’s rankings. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli also got benefited in the latest rankings. Now if we talk about statistics, in one case, Shubman Gill is still the number 1 batsman, then three players of Team India are included in the top-5.

Actually we are talking about the players who scored the most ODI runs so far this year. In this case, India’s young opener and rising star batsman Shubman Gill is on top. At the same time, Team India captain Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli are also present in the top. Apart from these three Indian players, England captain Jos Buttler and Asif Sheikh of Nepal are included, who recently also scored a blistering century. If we talk about the difference, then Shubman Gill is much ahead of Virat Kohli, who is at number two in this list. 

Most ODI runs in the year 2023 

  1. Shubman Gill – 624 runs (9 innings)
  2. Virat Kohli – 427 runs (9 innings)
  3. Asif Sheikh – 418 runs (12 innings)
  4. Jos Buttler – 372 runs (9 innings)
  5. Rohit Sharma – 371 runs (8 innings)

Now India’s famous T20 League (IPL) is starting from 31st March. In such a situation, ODI cricket and T20 International can be seen in very small numbers for the next two months. At present, India’s young Shubman Gill has done wonders in the current list. No player is visible around him either. This year, he has scored 3 centuries and a half-century in ODI cricket, performing brilliantly. He also scored a double century against New Zealand. 208 is his highest score. In T20 International also, Gill had scored a century this year while doing wonders. In Tests also, in the Ahmedabad Test against Australia, he had scored more than 100 runs. That is, in the first three months of this year, Gill has rocked and has scored a total of 5 international centuries.
