Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma retire from international cricket? Fans concerned as their names disappear from ICC ODI batting rankings
However, this was a disruption by ICC, which was corrected by finding themselves in the top 10 of the legends, listening to any rumor about their retirement.
This was placed in the number 4 with 736 points, only days after Sharma took 2nd place with 756 points, and took place at the top 10 for a long time.
Interestingly, Babar Azam, Pakistan, who ranked third in the ranking of the last week with Rohit’s second place, moved to the second place just behind Shubman Gill, the top. Azam returned to number 3 after the correction.
A few fans noticed that two doughs were not even in the top 100 in the ranking list, and especially the two predicted a great concern when they were on their last legs.
Neither Sharma nor Kohli have played any jacks since IPL 2025. The latest appearance for India was in the finals of the Champions Cup against New Zealand in March.
Are players disappear from ICC rankings?
The players are removed from the ICC rankings if they do not play a match for 12-15 months for tests and 9-12 months for ODI and T20IS. For example, when Ms. Dhoni retired from the tests in 2014, she was removed from the test rankings, but remained in the ODI ranking. Both Kohli and Sharma are not in the test and T20I ranking because they hang their boots in two formats. Both retired from the shortest format after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup and after the tests in May this year.
