Shubman Gill and Maheesh Theekshana have become the new No. 1 men's ODI batter and bowler respectively in the ICC rankings update released on the opening day of the Champions Trophy. Gill has gone past Babar Azam on his list, while Theekshana has gone past Rashid Khan on his.

Maheesh Theekshana, who starred in the series against Australia with figures of 4 for 40 and none for 11, has become the top-ranked ODI bowler with 680 rating points. He also became the seventh Sri Lankan to claim an ODI hat-trick.

Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka has climbed eight spots to No. 8 in the latest ICC ODI rankings following the two-match series against England. Meanwhile, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan has moved up to 15th place.

England’s Adil Rashid, who last played an ODI in December, has slipped to second place with 669 points but remains in contention to regain the top spot with a strong Champions Trophy performance.

Namibia's Bernard Scholtz, India's Kuldeep Yadav, and Pakistan's Shaheen Shah Afridi complete the top five in the bowlers' rankings. Meanwhile, New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner has moved up five places to No. 7 after taking five wickets in the Pakistan tri-series.

Gill had an excellent time of it in the home ODI series against England, which India won 3-0, with scores of 87, 60 and 112, which made him the top run-getter in the series, his 259 runs coming at an average of 86.33 and a strike rate of 103.60. The next highest scorer, Shreyas Iyer, was 78 behind Gill with 181 runs.

This is the second time Gill has gone to the top of the pile in ODI cricket - the previous occasion was during the ODI World Cup in 2023.

Gill's rise has pushed Babar to second place. Gill has 796 rating points, while Babar has 773.

They are followed in the top five by Rohit Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen and Daryl Mitchell, who has moved up two places after the tri-series in Pakistan where he scored 81, 10 and 57.
