Rohit Sharma recently slipped to No.2 in the ODI rankings, and the upcoming South Africa series gives him a chance to return to the top.
Daryl Mitchell moved to the No.1 ODI batter spot after scoring a superb century in the first ODI against West Indies.
Mitchell suffered a groin injury and has been ruled out of the remaining matches, meaning he won’t add any more points in this series.
Mitchell leads with 782 points. Rohit is close with 781. Ibrahim Zadran (764), Shubman Gill (745), and Virat Kohli (725) are below Rohit.
India will play three ODIs against South Africa from November 30. These matches give Rohit chances to score well and close the gap.
With Mitchell not playing further in the WI series, consistent runs from Rohit against South Africa could help him regain the No.1 ODI batter ranking.
