Overview
- The ICC revised Virat Kohli’s total days as the No. 1 ODI batter from 825 to 1,547.
- The correction places Kohli third on the all-time list behind Viv Richards with 2,306 days and Brian Lara with 2,079.
- The earlier 825-day figure appeared in the ICC’s initial communication and accompanying table before being corrected.
- Kohli regained the top ODI batting ranking after scoring 93 off 91 balls against New Zealand in Vadodara, ending a stretch away from No. 1 since July 2021.
- The ICC has not explained the original error, with reports pointing to inconsistent counting or outdated data pulls and urging uniform updates across official materials.
