IND vs ENG ODI: The ODI series between India and England begins on July 14. With strong performances in this series, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli could become the world's number one ODI batsmen.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will become the kings of the rankings.

The Indian team's tour of the UK has been disastrous. After losing the T20 series against England 0-4, the Indian team faces the challenge of the ODI series. The three-match ODI series between India and England begins on July 14th. The Indian team has been dethroned in the T20 team rankings, but in ODIs, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli will have a chance to become the new kings of the rankings.

India remains the world's number one team in the ODI format. On the other hand, three Indians are among the top four players in the ODI batting rankings. In fact, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma—all three Indian batsmen—have a chance to become the world's number one ODI batsman.

Three Indians in the top-4

New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell tops the ODI batting rankings with 815 rating points. Indian captain Shubman Gill (791) is second, Virat Kohli (768) is third, and Rohit Sharma (754) is fourth. Both Rohit and Virat have performed exceptionally well in England. Rohit averages 64.91 and Virat averages 51.88.

It will be a bit difficult for Virat and Rohit to surpass Daryl Mitchell in terms of rating points, but Shubman Gill can become the world's number-1 ODI batsman by playing one or two match-winning innings.

Team India has a chance to save its reputation.

Since the Indian T20 team, captained by Shreyas Iyer, arrived on the UK tour, they have lost 0-2 against Ireland and then 0-4 in the series against England. Now, the ODI team, captained by Shubman Gill, will be responsible for saving India's reputation. It's worth noting that England last defeated India in an ODI series in 2018. Team India will be looking to continue that winning streak this time around.
