India skipper MS Dhoni maintained his numero uno status in the latest ICC ODI Players Rankings.

 

India vice-captain Yuvraj Singh also continued to hold on to the second spot.

 

Apart from Dhoni and Yuvraj, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar (7th spot) and Delhi dasher Virender Sehwag (9th) are the other two Indians to feature in the top 10 ODI batsmen chart.

 

However, no Indian features among top 10 ODI bowlers with left-arm pacer Zaheer Khan languishing at the 17th spot in the list which is being headed by Sri Lankan Nuwan Kulasekara, followed New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori and Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh.

 

Yuvraj is also occupying the second place in the allrounders chart with 362 rating points behind Shakib (427), while South African Jacques Kallis is third with 332 points.

 

Meanwhile, Australia's loss in the last match against England turned out to be a gain for India as Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men rose back to the second spot in the ODI team rankings.
