Indian captain Rohit Sharma benefitted from his 83-ball 76 in the Champions Trophy final as he gained a couple of spots in the latest ICC rankings for batters in ODIs to find himself in third position. Rohit didn't have a great tournament scoring just 104 runs in four matches prior to the final but the skipper came clutch when it mattered the most chasing against New Zealand in the summit clash. While Virat Kohli, India's batting great in ODIs, slipped down a couple of spots. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/icc-odi-batting-rankings-rohit-sharma-closes-in-on-babar-azam-rachin-ravindra-gains-big-virat-kohli-drops-down-champions-trophy-2025-03-12-980337
'How could you bench him?': Ex-cricketers slam Indian captain, coach after Shreyas Iyer's selection revelation
It's not often that a batter, who gave an all-timer of a World Cup campaign smashing 530 runs at an average of 66 and a strike rate of 133 would not be sure of his place in the playing XI the next time his team plays. But Shreyas Iyer had to wait for someone to pull up sore to be able to fight his place back in India's ODI side, despite averaging over 50 and having a strike rate of 100 while playing at No 4 for India for a couple of years now. And what did Iyer do? The IPL and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy-winning captain made sure that his place isn't even in doubt, hopefully.source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/how-could-you-bench-him-ex-cricketers-slam-indian-captain-coach-after-shreyas-iyer-s-selection-revelation-rohit-sharma-ind-vs-eng-1st-odi-2025-02-07-975062
