ICC Men's ODI Ranking: Veteran Indian opener and former captain Rohit Sharma has returned to the top spot in the latest ICC ODI batting rankings. This comes ahead of the upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa, which starts on November 30 in Ranchi. The former Indian captain Rohit replaced New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell. Mitchell missed the last two ODIs in New Zealand's 3-0 sweep against the West Indies at home. This allowed Sharma to move ahead of him just days before the first ODI against South Africa in Ranchi, according to ICC rankings.

New Zealand batter Rachin Ravindra climbed one place to 12th, while his teammate Devon Conway rose to 31st among ODI batters. West Indies captain Shai Hope advanced to eighth position after his unbeaten hundred in the second ODI against New Zealand.

In the T20I all-rounder rankings, Zimbabwe's Sikander Raza became the new No. 1-ranked all-rounder for the first time in his career.
