Seam-bowling partner Afridi Haris Rauf gets the number 13 position from 14 after taking up the 10 wickets against Australia in ODIs because of which he also received the Player of the Series award. Meanwhile, Naseem Shah reached at 14 spot to 55th.
Babar's scores of 37, 15*, and 28* helped him extend his lead as the top ODI batter. That is why he is ahead of the Indian trio of Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

Akeal Hosein’s tight bowling against England moved him up to third place, while Ravi Bishnoi's four wickets in two games against South Africa lifted him to No. 7.
Among the batters, England's Phil Salt (second) and Jos Buttler (sixth), along with West Indies' Nicholas Pooran (10th), all climbed one spot in the rankings after two matches in the five-match series in the Caribbean.
In the ongoing South Africa vs India T20I series, Sanju Samson continued his climb in the batting rankings.
