This came after Quinton de Kock's consecutive hundreds against Sri Lanka and Australia. Whilst, his South African teammate Rassie van der Dussen remains at the fourth position in the ODI rankings.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam despite his poor run of form has maintained his top position with 836 points. He somehow managed to gain 18 points in the fresh ODI rankings. Shubman Gill has also retained his second position with little game time due to dengue illness.Â
