Overview
- Daryl Mitchell becomes only the second New Zealander to lead the ODI batting list, following Glenn Turner in 1979.
- His unbeaten 119 earned a 36-point surge that ended Rohit Sharma’s roughly three‑week stint at the top.
- Mitchell has a minor groin tear and is ruled out of the remaining West Indies ODIs, creating uncertainty over his hold on the position.
- Jasprit Bumrah retains the No. 1 Test bowling rank after a six‑wicket haul in the Kolkata Test.
- Temba Bavuma climbs to a career‑best fifth among Test batters and Pakistan’s Abrar Ahmed breaks into the ODI bowling top 10 at ninth.
