XtraTime Web Desk: Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli and pace maestro Jasprit Bumrah on Thursday maintained their lead at the top in the latest ICC men’s ODI player rankings.
In the ODI batting chart, Kohli and his deputy Rohit Sharma held on to their number one and two rankings respectively, while Bumrah retained his numero Uno spot in the bowling list.
Pakistan’s Mohammad Amir, who scalped four wickets in the three-match home series against Sri Lanka, grabbed a career-best seventh position after jumping six spots.
The left-arm fast bowler, who retired from Tests earlier this year to concentrate on white-ball cricket, had taken a three-wicket haul in the final match. His previous highest ranking was 10th in June this year.
Usman Shinwari, another left-arm fast bowler from Pakistan, made a significant rise, gaining 28 slots to reach 43rd position after finishing with six wickets in the series, including a five-wicket haul that won him the player of the match award in the second ODI.
Left-handed batsmen Fakhar Zaman (up two places to 16th) and Haris Sohail (up three places to 32nd) are the others to gain from Pakistan, while Sri Lanka’s Danushka Gunathilaka has reached a career-best 70th place after a century in the final match.
