Virat Kohli has reclaimed the top spot in the ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings, displacing Rohit Sharma, who now ranks third. Kohli's impressive form, including a match-winning 93 against New Zealand, has propelled him back to No. 1 after five years. He now holds 785 rating points, narrowly ahead of Daryl Mitchell (784) and Rohit Sharma (775). This marks Kohli's return to the top spot since April 2021, showcasing his consistent excellence in the 50-over format. Head is now up at No. 3 and Smith at No. 4. Joe Root, who had 400 runs in the series, and Harry Brook, who had 358, are in the top two positions. Their team-mate Jacob Bethell, who hit 154 in the second innings at SCG, rose a remarkable 25 places to 52nd. Travis Head and Steven Smith have climbed up the ranks in the latest ICC Test batting rankings, thanks to their impressive performances in the Ashes series. Head, who topped the run-scorers' charts with 629 runs, is now ranked fourth with 816 points, while Smith, who scored 138 in the fifth Test, has moved up to sixth, becoming the second-most prolific Ashes run-scorer of all time, surpassing Jack Hobbs. Head's aggressive batting, including three centuries, was a key factor in Australia's Ashes win, while Smith's 37th Test century showcased his class and experience. Smith now trails only Donald Bradman in the Ashes run-scorers' list, with 3,683 runs.
