In a remarkable testament to India’s batting prowess, the nation’s top three batters have announced that they are ready to dominate against every team in the ODI format this year, with all three securing spots in the coveted top 10 rankings. The trio, comprising stalwarts like Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, have consistently displayed their exceptional skills and amassing runs in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023.

Gill, who is the youngest among the 3 but has the highest ranking of no. 2 in the format, just sitting behind Pakistan captain Babar Azam. Gill has been in phenomenal form throughout this year and is expected to continue his domination as the ODI World Cup is about to start.

The modern-day great and former India captain Virat Kohli is back to his old habits as he moved to the no. 8 ranking in the list followed by the current Indian captain Rohit Sharma who is the highest run-scorer for the Indian team in the ongoing Asia Cup. Rohit has smashed 3 consecutive half-centuries in the 4 matches he has played so far in the tournament.

India qualified for the Asia Cup 2023 final

Their collective presence in the top 10 underlines India’s formidable batting lineup and their ability to perform consistently at the highest level. It’s nothing but a great sign for the whole team as the top-order is performing consistently with the major tournament is getting close to getting kicked off.

It’s also a source of pride for Indian cricket fans, who can take comfort in the knowledge that their batting greats continue to shine on the global stage. This achievement not only reflects their individual brilliance but also their dedication to maintaining India’s cricketing legacy.

India will play their last match of the Super 4 clash against Bangladesh on September 15 and will hope to continue their winning run in the tournament. However, the Indian team have already qualified for the final and it is expected that they may try some experiments before the final clash.

Here’s how fans reacted:
