Australian players have gained an edge in the new released list of ICC men’s ODI player rankings while Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma topped the batting rankings. Although Australia suffered a 2–1 series defeat against South Africa at home ground, the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup winning team gained the lead in the latest ranking after a stunning win in the final match of the series in McKay.
The Australian team scored a huge score of 431/2 in this 50 -over match, with their three batsmen Travis Head (142), Mich Marsh (100) and Cameron Green (118 not out) scored centuries. As a result, the trio gained a good lead in the ODI batsmen ranking, in which the head climbed one place to 11th, Marsh climbed four places to 44th position and Green climbed up 40 places to 78th.
His partner of the Australian team Josh England has also made it to the list of ODI batsmen. In the second match of the series against South Africa, this right -handed batsman has reached 64th position with a reform of 23 places thanks to an innings of 87 runs. The Indian pair Shubman Gill (784 rating points) and Rohit Sharma (756) are at the top of the ODI batsmen, while Pakistan’s right -handed batsman Babar Azam (739) is among the top three.
The position at the top of the ODI bowlers rank is even more tough, Sri Lankan spinner Mahesh Dikshana is at the top with fellow spinner Keshav Maharaj with 671 rating points after the end of the series between South Africa and Australia. Maharaj has lost his ranking after taking 1 wicket for 57 runs in the last match of the series. His rating has become equal to the convocation, while the Sri Lankan spinner did not land on the ground throughout the week.
The biggest bounce in the bowlers’ ODI rankings came through Lungi Angidi. South African fast bowler Australia’s legend has jumped six places to 28th position after taking the highest 7 wickets in the series in three matches. Australian pair Sean Abbott (48th position with nine -nine leaps) and Nathan Ellis (65th with 21 positions) have also made it to the list of ODIs after some good performance during the series with Protiaz.
