Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are currently gearing up for the upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand, starting on January 11 in Vadodara. While fans are looking forward to a strong contest between the two teams, there will also be a fight for the No. 1 spot in the ICC ODI batting rankings.
Presently, Rohit Sharma is the top-ranked ODI batter in the world. Virat Kohli is right behind him at No. 2, with only eight points separating the two modern-era legends. Since the gap is so small, the India-New Zealand ODI series could decide who sits at the top next week.
