Two significant shifts in the latest ODI Rankings on Wednesday made headlines, with Afghanistan's dynamic all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai ascending to the No. 1 spot among all-rounders, even as India's Virat Kohli climbed to fourth place in the batting rankings.
Omarzai, 25, cemented his status at the pinnacle following an electrifying Champions Trophy 2025 campaign, where he delivered with both bat and ball. His tournament-defining performances include a maiden five-wicket haul against England and a crucial fifty against Australia.
