Rohit Sharma has once again received great news. This right-handed opener has once again become the number 1 ODI batsman. Rohit Sharma was removed from this ranking last week. New Zealand's Darrell Mitchell had defeated him. However, due to being left out of the last two ODI matches against West Indies, Mitchell again slipped to second position. Rohit Sharma is at number one with 781 rating points. Whereas Mitchell is now at second place with 766 points. This difference between Rohit and Mitchell may increase further because this player will be seen playing in the ODI series against South Africa from 30th September.

If Rohit performs well in this series, he can remain at number 1 position for a long time. Talking about T20 International rankings, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza has become the number 1 all-rounder. He has defeated Sam Ayyub.

Rohit Sharma is in good form

In that series, Rohit scored a century and a half-century. Let us tell you that Rohit has not played any practice match since Sydney ODI, hence it will not be so easy for Rohit to perform well from Ranchi ODI itself. Rohit has taken the services of Mumbai Indians' physiotherapist Amit Dubey to prepare himself.

Rohit's record against South Africa is not good
