Kohli retains No. 3 position in ICC ODI rankings

Virat Kohli continued to retain the third place even as Yuvraj Singh’s match-winning knock against Ireland helped him move to 22nd, an improvement of one place, in the ICC ODI rankings issued on Monday.

Gautam Gambhir, too, retained the 13th position in the rankings for batsmen. Ireland’s stunning win over England last week have helped them leapfrog Zimbabwe.

The sensational victory in Bangalore last Wednesday earned Ireland enough points to move into 10th position in the rankings. Australia remains the top-ranked side, with India in second place. South Africa conceded the third place to Sri Lanka after Sunday’s six-run defeat against England.
