New Delhi: Star Indian batter Rohit Sharma has reclaimed the top spot in the latest ODI rankings list released on Wednesday. Rohit, who became the number one ODI batter for the first time in his career couple of weeks ago, was dethroned from the position by New Zealander Daryl Mitchell last Wednesday when the ratings were announced.
But on November 26, the former Indian captain reclaimed the top position after Mitchell missed the final two matches of New Zealand's series sweep against the West Indies. After he missed two matches, the Kiwi player's rating points significantly dropped paving Rohit to reclaim the top position again.
The Indian batter will have a chance to maintain his ranking at the top spot keeping in mind the three-match ODI series against the Proteas starting on Sunday. If Rohit performs well in the 50-over games, it will be hard to dethrone him for some time at least.
Meanwhile, Sikandar Raza achieved the number one spot in the T20I all-rounders rankings for the first time ever in his career. Raza has been in excellent form in the ongoing tri-series with Sri Lanka and hosts Pakistan. His performance helped him surpass Pakistan's Saim Ayub in the T20I all-rounders rankings, with the 39-year old reaching the top position for the first time in his career.
Mohammad Nawaz has moved up to the seventh spot after strong performances in the tri-series while another Pakistan batter Sahibzada Farhan climbed eight spots to rank fourth among the T20I batters. Babar Azam has climbed five spots to reach 29th after scoring a recent fifty.
On the other hand, Mitchell Starc has attained career-high spot in the latest Test rankings climbing four spots to the fifth place. Lethal Australian batter Travis Head has risen to the sixth place after his match-winning performance in the first Ashes Test match. Ollie Pope moved up four spots to rank 24th, also making progress among Test batters.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahim rose seven places to 30th, Litton Das climbed eight spots to 37th, and Mominul Haque advanced eight places to tie at 46th.
