Babar Azam, the Pakistan captain, has moved to the top of the ICC ODI rankings for batsmen as per the latest ICC update, dethroning Virat Kohli from the No. 1 position for the first time since the Indian batsman replaced AB de Villiers at the top in October 2017. Azam currently has 865 rating points, eight more than Kohli.
Azam s rise to the top follows a productive series against South Africa. Having started the series with 837 rating points, Azam s knock of 103 in the first match against South Africa helped him extend the points tally to 858, as he overtook Kohli. He slipped to second following a score of 32 in the second match, with 852 rating points at the time of last week s ranking update. But his 94 in the final game of the series helped him leapfrog Kohli again.
