Rashid Khan of Afghanistan and Matt Henry of New Zealand complete the top 7, with ratings of 640 and 622 respectively. Wanindu Hasaranga of Sri Lanka rounds out the top 10 with a rating of 607.
ODI All-rounder Rankings
Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe has made a remarkable climb, becoming the No.1 men's ODI all-rounder. His rating of 302 has seen him overtake Afghanistan's Azmatullah Omarzai, who is now ranked second with a rating of 296. Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, JJ Smit, Wiaan Mulder, and Dilshan Madushanka have also made impressive moves, each climbing up the rankings by varying degrees.
ODI Batter Rankings
Ben Curran, a teammate of Sikandar Raza, is the biggest mover in the ODI batters' rankings. After back-to-back half-centuries against Sri Lanka, scoring 70 and 79, he has moved up 71 spots and is now ranked No.90 in the world.
Sikandar Raza's rise to the top of the ODI all-rounder rankings is a testament to his consistent performances, particularly during Zimbabwe's two ODIs against Sri Lanka. This marks the first time that Raza has reached the number one spot in the ICC Men's ODI Allrounder Rankings.
These shifts in the rankings underscore the competitive nature of international cricket and the importance of consistent performances. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how these rankings evolve and which players continue to make their mark on the sport.
