    Digital Desk: India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah dropped to second among bowlers while Hardik Pandya rose a whopping 13 places to eighth in the all-rounders’ list after his great show against England in the latest ICC ODI rankings issued on Wednesday.

    India won the thrilling ODI series by a slim margin of 2-1, but star pacer Bumrah was forced to miss the championship game due to back spasms, which cost him his top rank.

    Trent Boult of New Zealand reclaimed first place with 704 rating points against Bumrah's 703 rating points. Yuzvendra Chahal, another Indian, climbed four spots to 16th after taking seven wickets in the ODI series against England.

    Pandya was recognised for his outstanding performance with both the bat and the ball against England.He scored 100 runs and claimed six scalps.

    After his outstanding series, he also rose eight spots to 42nd in the batting rankings. Rishabh Pant, a star wicketkeeper-batsman for India, was raised by 25 ranks to 52nd in recognition of his excellent performance, which included a magnificent unbeaten 125 during the final. The Indian combo of Virat Kohli (fourth) and Rohit Sharma (fifth) and South Africa's opening batsman Quinton de Kock (sixth) all dropped a position, leaving Pakistan captain Babar Azam at the top of the list for batters.

    Rassie van der Dussen of South Africa scored his third ODI century at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday, helping the 33-year-old move up three spots to third in the batter's rankings.

    Ben Stokes, the all-rounder for England, went from ninth to eleventh place and four spots overall, while Chris Woakes, another Englishman who did not play in the series, dropped two spots overall and two spots among bowlers.

    The Test rankings did not change this week, and the only changes to the most recent T20I rankings were minor and outside the top 10.
