Former Team India skipper Rohit Sharma has etched his name into the record books after dethroning ODI skipper Shubman Gill as the world's No. 1-ranked ODI batter. At 38 years and 182 days he is now the oldest batter to achieve the feat surpassing India legend Sachin Tendulkar, who last held the top position in Tests at 38 years and 73 days back in 2011.

Rohit climbed to the top spot after his unbeaten century in the third and final ODI against Australia in Sydney, helping India to a nine-wicket victory. The Mumbai-born opener scored a total of 2022 runs during the recently concluded ODI series at an astonishing average of 101. His unbeaten century in Sydney reaffirmed his status as one of the most reliable and destructive openers in world cricket.
