The cricketing world was taken by surprise when the International Cricket Council (ICC) corrected an error in Virat Kohli's ODI batting ranking. Initially, the ICC had stated that Kohli spent 825 days at the top of the rankings, but a correction revealed that the actual number was 1,547 days. This significant increase in days at the top elevated Kohli to third on the all-time list, making him the first among Indian cricketers. The correction came after a wave of backlash from fans and statisticians who pointed out the inconsistency in the figures. Kohli's remarkable consistency and dominance in ODI cricket are further solidified by this correction, placing him in the echelons of cricketing legends.
