'It's like a tick mark' – Shubman Gill on reclaiming No. 1 ODI rank for batters, focus remains on helping India win

Shubman Gill has downplayed his return to the summit of the ICC Men's ODI batting rankings, equating the milestone to checking off a childhood objective rather than an ultimate priority. The opening batsman emphasized that his primary focus remains on producing match-winning displays for the national side rather than chasing individual accolades.

This progression follows a prolific run of form that included accumulating 188 runs through three fixtures against England, followed by a massive 333 runs across a pair of matches in the West Indies.

The star player previously captured the top spot during the 2023 World Cup and has now reached the position on three separate occasions throughout his career. The latest assignment concluded with the third and final match against the West Indies hosted at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh on Saturday.
