Team India captain Rahul Dravid has made it to the top five ODI batsmen list in the latest LG ICC Player Rankings following his good form in the ongoing seven match series against England.
Dravid, who hit 46, 92 not out and 56 in the three matches, is at the fifth position with 738 points.
However, Mahendra Singh Dhoni who will be captaining India in the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa next month has dropped down ten places to 15th position following his dismal form in the first three matches of the series.
Australian captain Ricky Ponting continues his dominance on the batting chart with 799 points with Englishman Kevin Pieterson following him at 782 points. Australia's Mike Hussey 766 points and fellow Aussie Matthew Hayden 746 points are at the third and fourth positions respectively.
The LG ICC Player Rankings for ODI bowlers chart shows England's Andrew Flintoff, who took five wickets in the second ODI at Bristol, breaking into the top ten with 658 points.
Leading the chart is South Africa's Shaun Pollock, who is way ahead with 874 points, with a gap of 80 points between him and the next in line Nathan Bracken 794 points. New Zealand's Shane Bond is at the third place with 790 points while Sri Lanka's Chaminda Vaas and M.Muralidaran are at the fourth and fifth places with 741 and 730 points respectively.
In the team rankings, India remains at the fifth place with 110 points, only one point behind Sri Lanka at the fourth. However, Australia's dominance 129 points is continously under threat by South Africa 124 points who won the series against Zimbabwe 3-0. New Zealand 114 points is at the fourth place while England is at the eighth position following their two wins in three matches against India.
