While Kohli continues to dominate the top, Chahal makes his way into the top ten
Team India captain Virat Kohli continues to dominate the ICC ODI rankings after a smashing performance in the 5-match ODI series against West Indies which India clinched 3-1. Making his way to the top ten for the first time was leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal after an impressive show in the recently concluded series.
Kohli notched up 10,000 ODI runs on his way to a series aggregate of 453 runs and has consolidated his position as the top-ranked batsman in the ODI rankings.

He earned 15 points, which has lifted him to 899 points, 28 ahead of second-ranked team-mate Rohit Sharma, who has collected 29 points following his series total of 389 runs. His points tally of 871 is his highest to-date. The captain hammered three centuries, while his deputy struck two 150's.
However, Rohit's opening partner, Shikhar Dhawan, has dropped to the ninth spot in the batting order after he failed to make an impact in the ODIs against the Windies.
