Shock in the cricket world! ICC breaks the silence after Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli disappear from ODI rankings | Cricket news
New Delhi: Indian Cricket Icons Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were briefly withdrawn from the ICC ODI striker ranking on Wednesday due to a technical problem, although the two continue to be active in the format. The error drew attention while Sharma had climbed only recently in place n ° 2 in the ODI ranking last week, while Kohli was placed fourth with 736 ranking points. Their sudden absence of the Top 100 created confusion, because players have generally not left the list that after retirement.Rohit has appeared in eight ODI in 2025 so far, leading India in three games against England in February and guiding the team to five consecutive victories in the ICC Champions trophy. Kohli, too, played seven ODI this year.In particular, the problem was limited to the ODI classification, where the two were among the first four before disappearing.
The test and T20I graphics have remained unaffected. While Sharma and Kohli have already withdrawn from these two formats, they remain active in the ODIs.“A number of problems in this week’s ranking are currently under investigation,” the ICC told Wisden.The anomaly was quickly corrected, Rohit reinstated in No. 2 and Kohli restored in fourth place. No other player was hit by the problem.
The rapid CPI clarification and corrective has helped to settle the confusion around the temporary omission of two of India’s biggest names in the ODI strikers’ ranking.
