If you checked the ICC ODI rankings recently, you might have been left scratching your head. Two of the biggest names in cricket — Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli — were suddenly missing. No spots. No numbers. Just gone.
Naturally, fans went into overdrive. Was it a mistake? Had the ICC made a major decision, or was something else going on?
The Real Reason Behind the Vanish
It turns out there was nothing dramatic at all. The ICC later confirmed that it was simply a technical glitch on their website. Both Rohit and Kohli were never actually dropped from the rankings — they had just temporarily disappeared because of the error.

Fans’ Reaction
When Rohit and Kohli’s names suddenly disappeared, fans noticed right away. Social media was filled with questions and guesses — many were simply confused and wanted answers. Once the ICC explained it was just a glitch, the concern faded and fans moved on, relieved to see both players back in the rankings.
Final Word
At the end of the day, nothing has really changed. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli remain among the top ODI batters in the world. What we saw was just a reminder of how much attention even a small hiccup can grab when it involves two modern greats of the game.
