Shubman Gill's reign as world No. 1 cut short by Babar Azam despite fewer runs, Bishnoi displaced in less than 2 weeks..

Babar Azam has replaced Shubman Gill as the No. 1 ODI batter in the world with the star Pakistan batter taking back the position in less than 45 days after surrendering it..

Gill, who on November 8 displaced Babar from the top of the ODI rankings for batters, hasn't done much wrong, scoring 135 runs from three innings, including two half-centuries, but surprisingly had to give it up for Babar, who has played just one innings scoring 38 against England at the Eden Gardens..

Bishnoi, after his Player of the Series worthy performance against Australia, where he grabbed nine wickets from 5 T20Is, did not play a game and was omitted from both games between India and South Africa..
