How the ICC Batting Rating Works
The ODI batting rating is built purely from performance with the bat: runs scored, strike rate, and how those numbers stack up against the specific bowling attack and match situation faced across a full 50-over innings. A patient century built from a tricky start and a rapid unbeaten 80 in a run-chase can both score well depending on context — the model rewards sustained accumulation and match-defining impact together. Ratings are recalculated after every ODI a qualifying batter features in, so movement is common through a series or tournament.
Notable Movements Since the Last Update
Shubman Gill holds a narrow lead at the top for India, just ahead of Daryl Mitchell and Virat Kohli. Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbaz is the biggest faller inside the top 20, dropping five places to a tie at No. 16 — a slide that has lifted five batters directly below him by one spot each, including Kusal Mendis, Quinton de Kock, and Shreyas Iyer. India remains the deepest batting line-up in ODIs with five players inside this top 20 — Gill, Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Iyer and KL Rahul — more than any other side.
