Opener Rohit Sharma, who led his team to the Asia Cup title in the absence of top-ranked Virat Kohli, on Sunday climbed two places up to a career-best second position in the ICC ODI batting rankings.

In the ICC ODI Team rankings, there is no change in positions in the list led by England, who are followed by India, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the West Indies.

This is for the second time that Sharma is in the second position, having first reached number two in July this year. He aggregated 317 runs in the tournament, which India won by beating Bangladesh in the final by three wickets.

Shikhar Dhawan, who was highest run-getter with 342 runs, gained four slots to reach fifth position. Rashid has displaced former Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan from the top of the all-rounders’ list.
