There is no denying that India is on top of the cricketing world right now. With seven wins out of seven, utter domination has been established throughout the entire tournament so far.
There is a major shake-up inside the top 10 of both batting and bowling ODI lists due to good performances at the World Cup and it comes as no surprise that it is India’s bevy of stars that have made the biggest impression.
As the saying goes, one reaps what one sows. And that is exactly what has transpired for the India team as well, as the latest ICC ODI rankings revealed that two Indians are ranked as the top ODI batter and bowler currently.

Follow all the action from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 including the World Cup schedule, World Cup 2023 results, and ICC Cricket World Cup points table. Players are vying to top the World Cup 2023 Most Runs and World Cup 2023 Most Wickets charts.
The lastest update from ICC stated that young Indian opener Shubman Gill has overthrown Babar Azam to claim the throne as the No.1 ODI Batter in the world right now.
Gill, in the process, has also become just the fourth player from his country behind Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli to hold the No.1 ODI batter ranking.
The swashbuckling right-hander, who had a bit of a rough start to his debut World Cup campaign, has contributed scores of 92 against Sri Lanka and 23 against South Africa over the last week, and amassed a total of 219 runs from six innings at the tournament.
Similarly, it was also noted that Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj has overtaken South African spinster Keshav Maharaj to lay claim to the title of No.1 ODI Bowler.
Siraj improves two spots to regain his crown as the No.1 ranked ODI bowler, while teammates Kuldeep Yadav (up three places to fourth), Jasprit Bumrah (up three spots to eighth) and Mohammed Shami (up seven places to 10th) are all nestled within the top 10.
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan remains the No.1 ranked all-rounder despite an early exit at the World Cup due to injury, with Australia veteran Glenn Maxwell improving two spots to sixth after his match-winning heroics against Afghanistan in Mumbai on Tuesday.
