India retained the number one spot in the latest Reliance ODI team rankings while batsman Virat Kohli maintained his number two position in the batting rankings.

Following the victory in third ODI against South Africa, Australia leapfrogged into second place on the Reliance ICC ODI Team Rankings and is just two points adrift of leader and 2011 World Cup champion India.

Kohli is at second place in batting list with 862 points, behind South Africa’s A.B. de Villiers (888), and ahead of Hashim Amla (845), who is placed third. Dhoni remains at seventh with 738 points.

Seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the best-placed Indian at eighth with 641 points in the bowling chart. No Indian features among the top 3 all-rounders in world cricket at the moment.

Meanwhile, in the team rankings, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe have the opportunity to gain vital rankings points as they go head to head in five ODIs starting Friday in Chittagong.

Ninth-placed Bangladesh currently holds an 11-point lead over Elton Chigumbura’s charges, and can further increase their lead while also reducing the gap with New Zealand and West Indies.
