ICC TOP 10 ODI BATSMEN RANKINGS
ICC TOP 10 ODI BOWLERS RANKINGS
Virat Kohli Again own's the world Number One Position in the ODI Batting Rankings. He was 22 points behind former number one ODI batsman AB de Villiers when he entered the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2017 in England.
KOHLI surpassed AB de Villiers and David Warner to reclaim the top spot in the ICC rankings for ODI batsmen. Australia fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, meanwhile, topped the ODI bowlers' rankings for the first time in his career. South Africa quick Kagiso Rabada, who had gained the No.1 spot last month, dropped to fourth place.
India SKIPPER Back to the World number one position in the ODI Batting Rankings.
Kohli, who had entered the tournament on the third position, reclaimed the spot after leading his side to the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 semifinals. The rankings were updated after the last round of group matches in the ongoing tournament in England.
The 28-year-old captain was 22 points behind former number one ODI batsman AB D when he entered the competition two weeks back. The South African had been at the top since February 2017.
He also overtook Australia’s David Warner , who was at the second position at the start of the tournament. His knock of 81 against arch rivals Pakistan and 76 against South Africa helped him jump over two two batsmen to sit on the number one spot.
Kohli, who is now ahead of Warner by just one point, had enjoyed just four days at the top in January.
Meanwhile Dhawan has returned to the top 10 after scoring a century and two 50s in the three matches so far, Yuvi also rose in the rankings to stand on the 88th position. Opener Dhawan’s rise however meant that Rohit and Dhoni slipped a place each.
Fast bowler Bhuvi jumped 13 places to now sit on the 23rd rank with Afghanistan’s Hamza Hotak. However, Aswin and Jadeja’s rankings fell to 20th and 29th respectively.
There is no change in the top five of the all-rounders’ list.
Anil Kumble’s men had a strong start in the tournament as they defeated Pakistan in their opening match by 124 runs. This was however followed by a shock defeat to Sri Lanka. They booked their semifinal spot on Sunday after beating top ranked ODI team South Africa.
