Former Indian captain Rohit Sharma and young batting sensation Abhishek Sharma continued their dominance in the ICC white-ball batting charts, retaining their No. 1 rankings in the latest ICC Players Rankings released on Wednesday, November 5. Despite a strong push from several Pakistan players, the Indian duo maintained their top positions, showcasing remarkable consistency across formats in 2025.
In the ICC T20I Batting Rankings, Abhishek Sharma continues to lead the table with an impressive 925 rating points. The 23-year-old’s explosive performances at the top of the order have made him one of the most feared T20 batters in the world. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, who recently reclaimed the No. 1 position in the ICC ODI Batting Rankings following a stellar run against Australia, retained his spot with 781 rating points, further solidifying his reputation as one of India’s most dependable limited-overs batters.
Pakistan’s resurgence in recent months, however, has been noteworthy. The team has won four out of its last five bilateral series, including a crucial 2-1 home victory against South Africa. This success has propelled several Pakistani players up the rankings. Babar Azam climbed nine spots to reach 30th, Saim Ayub rose 10 positions to 39th, and Salman Agha made significant progress to 54th in the ICC T20I Batting Rankings.
