Regains entry in ICC’s top ten but Dravid slips to 22nd; Symonds set to top rankings
DUBAI: Sachin Tendulkar has made his way back into the top ten batsmen while former Indian captain Rahul Dravid has slipped to 22nd position in the latest LG ICC Player Rankings for ODI batsmen.
Sachin, who played his 400th ODI last week, is at joint 9th position alongside Chris Gayle of West Indies. The other Indians in the top 20 include Yuvraj Singh (15th) and Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (16th).
Australia’s Andrew Symonds, who is also the highest run scorer (365 so far) in the series from either side is within touching distance of top spot in the LG ICC Player
Rankings for ODI batsmen. The powerful right-hander, who bludgeoned a brutal 107 from just 88 balls against India in Nagpur on Sunday, has rocketed up six spots to second place and is now just eight rating points behind his captain and teammate Ricky Ponting.
Symonds, who has reached a career-high tally of rating points, forms an impressive Australian 1-2-3 at the top of the batting table, behind Ponting but ahead of Matthew Hayden, the winner of the ODI Player of the Year award at the ICC Awards in September and the second highest run-getter in the current series.
And with three other Australian players inside the top 11 places — Michael Hussey (5th), Michael Clarke (8th) and Adam Gilchrist (11th) — it is no wonder the side holds the ICC Cricket World Cup, the ICC Champions Trophy and a clear lead in the LG ICC ODI Championship table.
India’s highest-placed bowler is Harbhajan Singh, down in 29th position. Brad Hogg has broke into the top 10 on the back of being joint leading wicket-taker (alongside team-mate Mitchell Johnson) with 11 victims.
