De Villiers back as number-one ranked ODI batsman
Kohli was leading de Villiers by nine ratings points but because a player loses one percent of his rating for missing every match, the India batsman has dropped a total of 13 ratings points to now trail the South Africa stroke-maker by four ratings points.
De Villiers also leads the batting table in the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for Test Batsmen, while Kohli is sitting in 10th position. However, all this could potentially change over the next couple of months depending how de Villiers performs in Sri Lanka and Kohli performs in England.
Like Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma have also lost ground for opting to rest from the tour. Dhawan is now 10th after slipping two places and Sharma has fallen out of the top 20 to the 23rd position.
However, Suresh Raina, who captained India in Bangladesh, has made gains and has moved up two places to 27th.
In the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for ODI Bowlers, Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan has returned into the top 20. Shakib took six wickets and has been rewarded with a jump of five places. This has put him in 16th position.
Mashrafe Mortaza has moved up three places to 40th, while Umesh Yadav has jumped eight places to claim 78th spot.
Bangladesh’s Taskin Ahmed, who took seven wickets in his debut series, has entered in 182nd position while Stuart Binny, who returned figures of 4.4-2-4-6 in the second ODI, has gained 23 positions and is now in 206th spot.
In the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for ODI All-rounders, Shakib Al Hasan has swapped places with Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews. Shakib is now is second position and trails Pakistan’s number-one ranked Mohammad Hafeez by 46 ratings points.
Meanwhile, in the Reliance ICC ODI Team Rankings, there is no change to the pre-series rankings of India and Bangladesh. India is on equal points with Sri Lanka (112 ratings points) but is ranked behind Sri Lanka in third place when ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point. Bangladesh is in ninth spot on 72 ratings points.
