Mohammed Siraj, the Indian fast bowler, has achieved the distinction of becoming the number one ODI bowler in the latest ICC rankings. This remarkable achievement is a testament to his consistent performances in the 50-over format, especially during the World Cup 2023.
During the current World Cup, Siraj initially took some time to hit his stride but showcased his exceptional skills in the matches against Sri Lanka and South Africa. He particularly drew attention when he claimed a remarkable six-wicket haul against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final, where he dismantled the Lankan batting lineup.
Shubman Gill has also made significant strides in the world of cricket. He is now ranked as the number one ODI batter in the ICC rankings. This extraordinary recognition comes on the back of his impressive performance during the World Cup 2023.
In the latest ICC ODI rankings for bowlers, Keshav Maharaj, who performed admirably for South Africa in the World Cup 2023, is ranked second. Adam Zampa and Kuldeep Yadav, both spinners, follow him. Shaheen Afridi, who was previously the number one bowler but had a lackluster performance in the Asia Cup and the first half of World Cup 2023, is now fifth in the rankings.
With this achievement, Mohammed Siraj aspires to make impactful contributions to help India secure the ultimate glory in the World Cup, ending the 12-year wait for the coveted title.
The remarkable rise of both Mohammed Siraj and Shubman Gill highlights the dominance of Indian players in the world of cricket, especially during the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
