Former India captain Rohit Sharma entered his name in the history books on Wednesday (October 29) by becoming the oldest Indian cricketer to become the world’s No. 1 ODI batter. The 38-year-and-182-day-old cricketer from Mumbai jumped two places on Wednesday to take the No. 1 position in the ICC ODI batter’s rankings for the first time in his career. Rohit replaced India’s captain, Shuman Gill, to take the top position.

Rohit, who had 745 rating points to his credit last week, scored 73 runs from 97 balls in the second India-Australia ODI at Adelaide Oval on October 23 and remained unbeaten on 121 runs from 125 balls in the third match played at Sydney Cricket Ground on October 25. The two big shows with the bat by Rohit helped him gain valuable rating points (781 now).
