Kohli @ NO 1 in ICC ODI Rankings

Hyderabad, October 30: Virat Kohli returned to the top spot in the latest ODI rankings which were released by ICC on Monday.

The Skipper has scored brilliant innings against the black caps here in Kanpur in a match decider Game.

Kohli has also reached a career-high in terms of rating points.

The 28-year-old Delhi batsman, who scored 263 runs in the series against New Zealand including knocks of 121 in the first ODI in Mumbai and 113 in the final ODI in Kanpur, has reached 889 points, which is the best ever by an India batsman.



The previous highest points tally of 887 was managed by Sachin Tendulkar in 1998 and by Kohli earlier this year,” the ICC said in a statement.

Apart from Kohli, MS Dhoni also rose one place to number 11 in the rankings. Rohit Sharma, who scored a century in the third ODI on Sunday, accumulated ranking points but remained on the seventh spot in the rankings.
