Dhoni Remains no.1 ODI Batsman, Yuvraj on Second

Dubai: Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his deputy Yuvraj Singh retained the top two slots in batsmen's list, while Team India managed to cling on to second position in the ICC ODI Rankings issued on Monday.

Dhoni held on to his numero uno status with 828 rating points while left-handed Yuvraj, who had managed his career best ranking last month, had 784 points in his kitty.

The Indian duo are followed by Australia's Mike Hussey (767), West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul (759) and his skipper Chris Gayle (756) in the list.

Virender Sehwag (seventh), Sachin Tendulkar (14th) and Gautam Gambhir (17th) stuck to their respective positions.

Meanwhile, South Africa remained on top of ODI Championships table, followed by India and Australia at second and third.

Among the bowlers, injured left-arm pacer Zaheer Khan continued to be the only Indian in top 20 at 16th.

Sri Lankan Nuwan Kulasekara tops the bowlers' list. 

In Test rating, India opener Gautam Gambhir slid one rung down to third as he swapped places with Australian vice-captain Michael Clarke who shone with the bat in the fourth Ashes Test, in the ICC Test rankings issued on Monday.

Clarke, who achieved his best-ever Test rankings, is now sitting just seven points behind Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara (862).

The 28-year-old New South Welshman has pushed Gambhir (847) into third place after his 93 in Leeds helped his side to an innings victory over England that levels the closely fought series 1-1 with one match to play.

Clarke's captain Ricky Ponting is also reflecting on a personally satisfying match with his innings of 78 earning him two places up to seventh.

Sachin Tendulkar (14th), VVS Laxman (17th) and Virender Sehwag (18th) are the other Indians in the top 20.

In the bowlers' list headed by South African Dale Steyn, Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh gained one place to fifth while injured pacer Zaheer Khan remained on ninth.
