Jhulan Goswami, who last held the top spot in February 2017, now has 730 points while Smriti Mandhana consolidated her position at the top with a career-best 797 points.
India struggled to 119 for six after Tammy Beaumont (62 off 57) and skipper Heather Knight (40 off 20) steered England to 160 for four in 20 overs.
Heather Knight hopes winning final ODI will give England momentum against India in T20I series
Smriti Mandhana, who has been vice-captain for two years, will don the captain's hat in the absence of Harmanpreet Kaur in the T20I series against England.
India have been doing well in the 50-over format but they have plenty to ponder about in the shortest form, having lost their previous series in New Zealand 0-3.
India had thrashed reigning World Champions England by 66 runs in the opening ODI and then followed it up with a dominating seven-wicket win in the second game.
In her absence, opener Smriti Mandhana has been named as the captain of the 15-member Indian women's squad which also includes ODI skipper Mithali Raj.
Smriti Mandhana scored 63 while Jhulan Goswami and Shikha Pandey grabbed four wickets each as India won the match by 7 wickets and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
The quality of the competition can't be compromised and that is one of the reasons why a women's IPL can't be organised at the moment, reasons BCCI.
India women couldn't have asked for a better start to the series, defeating the current world champions England by 66 runs in the opener at the Wankhede Stadium on Friday.
Batting first, India folded for 202 in 49.4 overs but they returned to dismiss England for 136 to make a winning start to the series.
Smriti Mandhana is leading the pack with 774 rating points ahead of Australia pair of Ellyse Perry and Meg Lanning.
Mandhana recently scored 196 runs in the three-match ODI series against hosts New Zealand, including a 100 and 90.
Mandhana, asked specifically whether the team was too dependent on her, replied that the perception was not correct.
Rodrigues's 132 runs in the three-match series against New Zealand have lifted her to second position while Mandhana has gained four spots after finishing as the leading run-getter in the New Zealand series.
Mandhana returned as the highest run-getter in the T20 series, amassing 180 runs from three games at an average of 60, including two half-centuries.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, whose indifferent form has hurt the team, said she was disappointed at the result and the 0-3 series defeat.
Kalpana, who made her ODI debut at home against New Zealand in 2015, will be the second wicketkeeper in the squad apart from Taniya Bhatia.
The Indian board also announced the President's XI squad that will play a warm-up game ahead of the series on February 18.
New Zealand beat India by four wickets in the second T20I to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
