On Wednesday, August 20, the International Cricket Council (ICC) released the updated ICC rankings, and surprisingly, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's names were missing from the list.
The absence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from the ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings has led to speculation about their retirement from 50-over cricket.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to retire? ICC's shock move stuns cricket world
Just last week, Rohit Sharma moved to the second position in the ICC Men's ODI Batting Rankings, and Virat Kohli occupied the fourth position.
However, now their names are nowhere to be found in the rankings. Babar Azam is being shown as the No. 2-ranked batter in the Shubman Gill-led charts, and Daryl Mitchell and Charith Asalanka are at third and fourth spots.
Although there are speculations that ICC has seemingly confirmed Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's ODI retirements, most likely, there is a glitch in the system, which led to their removal because both players are active in One Day International Cricket. But nothing has been confirmed at the time of writing this report.
Here's the ICC Men's ODI Rankings with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli missing:
