NEW DELHI: India’s thrilling victory over New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai has sparked a wave of movement in the latest ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings, with stars from both finalists making significant gains.
India, who secured their third Champions Trophy title with a four-wicket win, saw several key performers rise in the rankings. Shubman Gill continues to sit comfortably at the top of the ODI batter charts after another strong showing throughout the tournament.
Veteran skipper Rohit Sharma, named Player of the Match for his fluent 76 in the final, jumped two places to third. Virat Kohli, who amassed 218 runs during the tournament, also held firm in the top five, currently ranked fifth.

Glenn Phillips also broke into the top 25, now sitting at 24th after jumping six places.
On the bowling front, the most significant rise came from New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner. The left-arm spinner, who bagged nine wickets in the tournament — including two in the final — moved up six positions to second in the ODI bowling rankings, just behind Sri Lanka’s Maheesh Theekshana.
Fellow Kiwi Michael Bracewell also made gains, leaping 10 spots to reach 18th.
