ICC Corrects Historical Error, Confirms Virat Kohli Holds Indian Record for Most Days at No. 1 ODI Ranking

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has corrected a significant error regarding Virat Kohli’s tenure at the top of the ODI batting rankings, confirming a much longer period than initially reported. Following a backlash from fans and statisticians, the ICC revised the figure from 825 days to a staggering 1,547 days.

This correction officially places the Royal Challengers Bengaluru star third on the all-time list for most days spent as the world's No. 1 ODI batter, and cements his position as the leading Indian player in this elite category. The rectification highlights Kohli’s sustained dominance in the 50-over format throughout his career.

The updated record serves as a powerful reminder of Kohli's consistency and enduring quality, reinforcing his status as one of the greatest ODI players in history.
