Shubman Gill and Maheesh Theekshana have become the new No. 1 men's ODI batter and bowler respectively in the ICC rankings update released on the opening day of the Champions Trophy

Maheesh Theekshana top the spot following his exploits against the Aussies that included an excellent four-wicket haul in the opening match of that series in Colombo.

Meanwhile, Afghan spin wizard Rashid drops to second and will be keen to regain the No.1 spot as he trails his Sri Lankan counterpart by just 11 rating points, while a trio of spinners in India's squad Kuldeep Yadav (up one place to fourth), South Africa's Keshav Maharaj (re-enters the rankings in sixth) and New Zealand's Mitchell Santner (up four rungs to seventh) are all inside the top 10 after making ground this week.
