MUMBAI: Daryl Mitchell has dethroned India stalwart Virat Kohli at the top of the men’s ODI batters’ rankings after his consecutive centuries that helped New Zealand clinch a 2-1 series win against India.
With 845 ranking points, he replaces Kohli (795 points), who dropped to No. 2 on the list. The pair sit well clear of a chasing pack that includes Ibrahim Zadran, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Babar Azam.
Mitchell has now held the No.1 ODI cricket ranking for the second time, but his previous stint at the top lasted only three days last November before Rohit overtook him.
