Brisbane, Mar 2 : There has been plenty of reshuffle in the Reliance ICC ODI Player Rankings following 23 absorbing and exciting pool stage matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 currently being staged in Australia and New Zealand.
Sri Lanka’s Tillakaratne Dilshan has now become the number-one ranked all-rounder in the world following his 229 runs with the bat and three wickets with the ball to date. His form has helped him gain three places in the latest Reliance ICC Player Rankings for All-rounders and he now leads Bangladesh’s second-ranked Shakib Al Hasan by 10 ratingsm points.
Dilshan’s team-mate Kumar Sangakkara is the leading run-getter to
date in cricket’s biggest spectacle with 268 runs and this is
reflected in the latest Reliance ICC Player Rankings for ODI Batsmen.
The left-hander has moved up two places to join South Africa’s Hashim
Amla in second place.
The batting table is headed by South Africa captain AB de Villiers
who leads second-ranked Sangakkara and Amla by 49 ratings points. De
Villiers with 217 runs is sixth in the list of leading run-getters in
the tournament to date and is just two ratings points short of
becoming only the 11th batsman to break the 900-point barrier since
the introduction of the current ODI player rankings system.
West Indies’ Chris Gayle with 258 runs is second on the list of top
run-scorers for which he has been rewarded with a leap of five places
that, in turn, has put him in 52nd place along with Afghanistan’s
Samiullah Shenwari (up by 12 places).
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum and South Africa’s David Miller
are the biggest movers in the latest rankings, which were released on
Monday.
McCullum has jumped 10 places to 18th following his 207 runs in four
matches to date, while Miller has moved up 14 places to 23rd as his
three innings have yielded 180 runs to date.
Other batsmen to head in the right direction are Aaron Finch eighth
(up by four places), Misbah-ul-Haq 13th (up by two places), Suresh
Raina 20th (up by four places), Mahela Jayawardene 21st (up by four
places) and Brendan Taylor 29th (up by three places).
Ireland’s Paul Stirling remains the highest-ranked batsman from the
Associate Member sides and is sharing 34th position with Bangladesh
duo Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim. Stirling’s team-mate Ed Joyce
has gained 12 places and is now in 58th spot, while the UAE’s Shaiman
Anwar, who is the seventh leading run-getter to date with 208 runs, is
in 99th spot after rocketing 93 places.
In the Reliance ICC Player Rankings for ODI Bowlers, New Zealand’s
fast bowling pair of Tim Southee and Trent Boult have made significant
gains in the latest rankings.
Southee is the leading bowler of the tournament to date with 13
wickets, which has helped him jump 10 places to 12th, while Boult’s 10
wickets to date has put him in a career-high 24th place after a rise
of 23 places. Spin wizard Daniel Vettori has summed up an excellent
first couple of weeks for New Zealand by grabbing eight wickets, which
has earned him five places and ninth spot in the latest rankings.
South Africa’s wrist spinner Imran Tahir, Australia paceman Mitchell
Starc and Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Irfan have all achieved
career-best rankings.
Imran has jumped seven places to fourth following his nine wickets in
three matches, Starc has gained two places to fifth following his
eight wickets in two matches and Irfan’s five wickets have given him a
place inside the top 10 in 10th place following a rise of six places.
India’s Mohammad Shami and Ravichandaran Ashwin have also made upward
movements. Shami has gained 14 places and is now in 11th position
while Ashwin’s eight wickets to date have helped him climb six places
to 16th.
Ireland’s left-arm spinner George Dockrell is the highest-ranked
bowler amongst the Associate Member countries. The 22-year-old’s four
wickets in two matches have given him a rise of eight places that has
put him in 28th position.
Scotland’s Josh Davey, who has taken nine wickets in three matches to
date, shares 91st spot with Australia’s Glenn Maxwell after gaining15
places in the latest rankings.
RELIANCE ICC ODI TEAM RANKINGS

three defeats in four matches, the two sides have swapped places on
the Reliance ICC ODI Team Rankings. New Zealand is now fifth, just one

rating points ahead of Pakistan.
