Rohit Sharma, 38, becomes the oldest ever ICC No.1 ODI batter, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s world record and overtaking Shubman Gill.
At 38 years and 182 days, Rohit tops the ICC ODI batting rankings for the first time, surpassing Sachin’s record as the oldest world No.1.
Rohit led the run charts in the ODI series vs Australia with 202 runs in three innings, including a match-winning century in Sydney.
With 781 points, Rohit overtook Shubman Gill, who slipped to third after a poor series. Virat Kohli dropped to sixth, while Shreyas Iyer moved to ninth.
Rohit broke several records — most runs and hundreds as India opener, most ODI hundreds vs Australia, and 14 ODI tons in SENA countries.
At an age when most retire, Rohit’s return to form shows his class, resilience, and unmatched consistency in world cricket.
