India continued the top spot in the latest ICC ODI Championship table which have been released in Dubai on Saturday, while Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina slipped in the Twenty20 batting charts.
Moreover, Kohli slipped two places to be placed eighth, followed by Raina at ninth while Yuvraj Singh was at 14th after a fall of one place while Gautam Gambhir was down at 17th.
In the T20 bowling chart, Ravichandran Ashwin, the only Indian in the list, slipped two places to be positioned 18th while in the all-rounder’s list, Yuvraj Singh continued the third position with 337 points.
In the team rankings for ODI, topper India have 119 points, followed by England and Australia.
As a matter of fact, England are on equal points with India (119 ratings points) but are ranked behind the world champions as ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point and that they have an opportunity to reclaim the number-one ranking on the ODI Championship table when they take on New Zealand in a three-match series that commences in Hamilton from Sunday
If England win all three matches, they will reclaim the number-one ranking.
Once again India proved that they can reach the top, if they want to!
