India retained second position after their 1-0 series victory over Australia in the Reliance Mobile ICC ODI team rankings while Virat Kohli rose 11 places to career best 13th in the batsmen’s chart.

India gained two rating points by winning the Visakhapatnam ODI on October 20 against Australia to take their tally to 117.

Australia, who lost an ODI series against India for the first time after 1986-87, dropped two rating points though they are still on the top of table with 130 points.

In the batsmen’s chart, Indian captain MS Dhoni dropped from second to fourth while Sachin Tendulkar jumped two places to joint eighth.

Virender Sehwag also gained one place to seventh to be the second highest-ranked Indian after his captain Dhoni.

Kohli rocketed 11 places into his career-best 13th position. The overall batsmen’s chart is led by South Africa’s AB de Villiers. De Villiers has achieved his career-best rating points of 820.

In the rankings for ODI bowlers, only two Indians — Praveen Kumar (12th) and Harbhajan Singh (19th) — are in the top 20.

New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori continues to lead the field with Bangladesh’s Shakib al Hasan second and England off-spinner Graeme Swann third.
