Virat Kohli has become the No. 1 ranked batsman in ODIs after the just concluded India-Australia series, which India won 3-2.
Kohli scored 344 runs in 5 innings, averaging 114.66 with the bat. He also scored the fastest and third-fastest hundred by an Indian batsman. He achieved his career-highest rating of 869 on 30th October, which fell to 857 after he was run-out for a duck in the 7th ODI in Bengaluru.
The Indian batsman has displaced Hashim Amla from the top of the ladder, who with 844 points, is the 2nd ranked batsman in ODIs currently. Amla is missing the currentODI series against Pakistan to attend the birth of his child in South Africa.
