Virat Kohli’s no. 1 ODI batter stat corrected by ICC:Apex body forced to tweak numbers after fans pointed out big blunder

ICC had made a mistake in the rankings released this week, which the Council has now corrected.

On January 14, ICC shared data related to Virat Kohli on social media, which later proved to be incorrect. After the mistake came to light, ICC corrected that copy. Earlier, ICC had stated that Virat Kohli had remained at the number-1 position in the ODI rankings for a total of 825 days, based on which he was ranked 10th in the world on that list. However, after the correction in the figures, the ICC clarified that Virat has been the No. 1 batsman in ODI cricket for a total of 1,547 days. With this corrected figure, Virat has now moved to the third position in this list.
