ICC Clarifies After Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Briefly Disappear from ODI Rankings
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli briefly disappeared from ICC ODI rankings due to a glitch. ICC clarifies and restores their positions at No. 2 and No. 4.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were briefly removed from ICC ODI batting rankings before being reinstated after a technical error.
Indian cricket stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma unexpectedly disappeared from the ICC ODI batting rankings, leaving fans all over the world perplexed. A technical issue caused the abrupt omission, which has since been fixed, and both players are back in their original positions.
Technical Error Causes Perplexity
Fans were taken aback on Wednesday when Rohit, who had just risen to the number two spot, and Kohli, who was at number four with 736 points, vanished from the top 100 list. Their absence immediately sparked curiosity because players are typically only removed after retiring.
The ICC acknowledged that the anomaly was a result of a system error and said:
"Several problems in this week's rankings are being looked into right now."
The ODI Form for Rohit and Kohli
In India's ODI setup, both legends are still actively involved.
In 2025, Rohit Sharma has played in eight One-Day Internationals (ODIs). He led India to five straight victories in the ICC Champions Trophy and led the team in three matches against England.
Virat Kohli has demonstrated his continued presence in the format by playing seven ODIs this year.
Only the ODI charts were impacted; the Test and T20I rankings were not. Among the best ODI players are Rohit and Kohli, who have already retired from Test and T20I cricket.
Fast Recovery
With Rohit returned to No. 2 and Kohli returned to No. 4, the problem was quickly fixed, guaranteeing that no other player rankings were affected.
The ICC’s clarification and prompt fix have calmed fans, reaffirming that India’s batting legends continue to dominate the ODI charts.
