Virat Kohli is the no 1 rank batsmen with 871 and just 16 points behind Rohit Sharma stands number 2 with 855 points.
Pakistan’s rising batsman Babar Azam is not far behind with 829 points, therefore it is going to be quite an interesting contest between the top-3 players when they start playing ODI cricket.
