Gukesh currently #5 at 2783
Champion status shouldn't reflect rating IMO. They measure different things (your ability to perform in the highest pressure tournaments, versus general skill)
He can change this by continuing to win more and lose less. To reflect being #1 he needs to take #1 from Magnus. That is probably the hardest challenge he will face in his career/life.
I think he's referring to the trophy emoji next to Ding's name
