Virat Kohli was the highest-placed batsman at third followed by Mahendra Singh Dhoni at fifth but there was no Indian in the bowling top 10 of the latest ICC one-day rankings issued on Saturday.
Kohli, who showed good form in the Test series against Australia when he ended up as his side's leading run-getter with 300 runs, trails South Africa's ODI captain A.B. de Villiers (at second place) by 45 ratings points while Hashim Amla sits on top, another 26 rating points ahead.
Amla and de Villiers will feature in the three-match ODI series in New Zealand from February 25 to March 3.
The other batsmen in the India-Australia-Sri Lanka Tri-Series inside the top 10 include Kumar Sangakkara (seventh), Mike Hussey (eighth) and Michael Clarke (ninth).
In the rankings for ODI bowlers, Sri Lanka's Lasith Malinga is the highest-ranked bowler in the series in 10th position.
Ravindra Jadeja and Brett Lee of Australia are the highest-ranked bowlers of their sides in 13th and 15th positions, respectively.
Meanwhile, shuffling of the pack could be on the cards in the team Championship table when three of the four top ranked sides go head to head in the three-nation tournament.
