Kohli moves to second in ODI rankings, 20 points behind Gill

Virat Kohli moved to second in the men’s ODI batting rankings on September 30, 2026, after scoring an unbeaten century against West Indies, leaving him 20 points behind India captain Shubman Gill. The rankings update gave Gill 816 points and Kohli 796, with New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell third on 794. Kohli made 139 not out from 88 balls in the first ODI against West Indies, his 55th century in the format. Gill also scored a century in the match and retained the top ranking. Kohli’s rise displaced Mitchell from second place; the reports do not establish that Kohli has taken the number-one position. The update also recorded gains in the bowling rankings. South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj rose to third, while India’s Kuldeep Yadav climbed to fifth after taking four wickets against West Indies. Australia’s Josh Hazlewood moved up five places to tenth. Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan remained at the top of the bowling table. Among batters, Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis advanced three places to seventh after scoring 121 against England. The reports give conflicting positions for some other players in the lower part of the top ten, so those placements are not clear from the published accounts.
