Dubai: India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal broke into the top-10 of the ICC rankings while Shikhar Dhawan dropped four places in the batsmen standings following a lean home series against the West Indies.
India captain Virat Kohli completed 10,000 ODI runs on his way to a series aggregate of 453.
He earned 15 points, which has lifted him to 899 points, 28 ahead of second-ranked team-mate Rohit Sharma, who has collected 29 points following his series total of 389 runs.
His points tally of 871 is his highest to-date.
Dhawan, who failed to register a half century in the five innings against the West Indies, has slipped four places to be ninth.
In the bowlers’ table, Chahal, Akila Dananjaya and Ravindra Jadeja have made big impacts, while number-one-ranked Jasprit Bumrah has achieved a career-high 841 rating points, which is the highest in ODI bowling since Shaun Pollock had 894 points in 2008.
Chahal has entered the top-10 for the first time in his career by rising three places to eighth and Jadeja has climbed 16 places to move to 25th spot after picking up seven wickets.
England are the number-one ranked side, while India are second. India trail England by five points, but lead third-ranked New Zealand by nine points. (PTI)
