Indian captain Virat Kohli and white-ball vice-captain Rohit Sharma continue to hold the top two spots in the latest ICC ODI rankings for batsmen.

Kohli scored two half-centuries in the three-match ODI series against Australia which India lost 1-2 last year in December. Sharma, who missed the ODI series against the Aaron Finch-led side owing to a hamstring injury, remains at number two, five points ahead of Pakistan's Babar Azam.

Meanwhile, pacer Jasprit Bumrah stuck to his third spot in the bowlers' list. In the list of all-rounders, Ravindra Jadeja has moved down by a spot and is currently at number eight.

In the ICC ODI rankings which got updated on Wednesday, Ireland all-rounder Paul Stirling and Bangladesh spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz were the notable gainers owing to their brilliant performances.

Stirling has gained eight slots to reach 20th place after scoring 285 runs against Afghanistan which included centuries in the second and third matches.

Mehidy, on the other hand, progressed nine spots to take the fourth position after grabbing seven wickets including a haul of four for 25 in the second ODI that won him the player of the match award.
