Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan were placed at third and fifth respectively in the latest ICC ODI batsmen’s rankings. However, India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is not playing in the ongoing five-ODI series against Sri Lanka due to an injury, has slipped one place to seventh position.
Dhawan moved up the list owing to his superb performance in the first three matches of the ODI series against Sri Lanka. He has been the leading run-getter of the series so far with 283 runs at an average of 94.33.
Meanwhile, the two South Africans - AB de Villiers and Hashim Amla - continue to occupy the top two positions in the batting table.
In the ODI bowlers list, India’s medium pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar shared the sixth spot with Mohammad Hafeez of Pakistan after moving up a place.
Ravindra Jadeja, however, dropped two places to be at number eight in the table, which is still headed by Pakistan’s Saeed Ajmal.
