Rankings rise for Champions Trophy finalists following India's thrilling victory

Dubai: Players that reached the final of the recent ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 have been the big winners on the latest ICC Men's ODI Player Rankings.

India clinched their third Champions Trophy title when they defeated New Zealand by four wickets in the tournament decider in Dubai on Sunday and a host of their best performers have made giant strides on the latest rankings update.

Star opener Shubman Gill remains at the top of the ODI batter rankings after his display during the Champions Trophy, while Indian teammate and experienced skipper Rohit Sharma jumps two places to third on this list following his Player of the Match heroics in the final.

Rohit smashed 76 from just 83 deliveries to help setup India's victory, with teammate Virat Kohli (fifth) also inside the top five for ODI batters following his haul of 218 runs for the tournament.

New Zealand trio Daryl Mitchell (up one place to sixth), Rachin Ravindra (up 14 spots to 14th) and Glenn Phillips (up six rungs to 24th) also make ground on the latest rankings for ODI batters, while teammate and captain Mitchell Santner is the big improver on the updated list for ODI bowlers.

Santner claimed nine wickets during the Champions Trophy and two scalps in the final, with the left-armer rising six spots to second on the updated list for ODI bowlers as a result with Sri Lankan spinner Maheesh Theekshana now the only player ahead of him on the rankings, an ICC report said.

Teammate Michael Bracewell (up 10 places to 18th) also makes some ground from a New Zealand perspective, while a pair of Indian spinners rise the charts inside the top 10 following their exploits at the Champions Trophy.

Left-armer Kuldeep Yadav (up three spots to third) is a big improver on the back of his seven wickets for the tournament, while Ravindra Jadeja also gains three places to move to 10th following his five scalps for India during their unbeaten run at the event.

Afghanistan star Azmatullah Omarzai maintains his lead at the top of the rankings for ODI all-rounders, though he does have some fresh competition from a trio of New Zealand players following their efforts at the Champions Trophy.

Santner rises one place to fourth overall, Bracewell gains seven spots to move to seventh, while Ravindra climbs eight rungs to improve to eighth following some eye-catching efforts.
