Dubai. Babar Azam’s lead at the top of the ICC ODI batting rankings is continuously decreasing. According to the new update, there is a minor difference of only 10 points between India’s young batsman Shubhman Gill and Babar.

Gill performed brilliantly in the first two matches of the ODI series against Australia.

In-form opener Shubman Gill scored a total of 178 runs during the first two matches. In the first match of this series, Gill played an innings of 74 runs in Mohali and then, he took the lead in the rankings by scoring the sixth ODI century of his career in Indore.

According to the ICC report, Gill now has a total of 847 rating points and is just 10 rating points behind Babar before the start of the World Cup on October 5.

Pakistan will not play any official ODIs until their World Cup opener and Gill was ruled out of the final match of India’s series against Australia. This means that Babar will enter this year’s tournament with the top ranking.

The competition between Babar and Gill at the top of the batting rankings will continue throughout the six weeks of the World Cup.

Among these two batsmen, the one who performs well in the ODI World Cup will capture number 1 in the ODI rankings in the coming days.
