Notably, Rohit and Kohli have bid adieu to T20Is and Test cricket, but both the batting maestros continue to be part of India's ODI squad.

The trio gain big in the rankings, with Head climbing one place to move to equal 11th, Marsh leaping four rungs to move to 44th and Green rising a whopping 40 slots to be 78th.
Australia's Josh Inglis surged 23 places up to 64th as a result of his innings of 87. Ngidi was the biggest climber in the ODI bowler rankings, surging six spots to 28th after a phenomenal series against Australia, where he bagged a career-best seven wickets across the three matches.
