England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has displaced India opener Smriti Mandhana to become the No. 1-ranked ODI batter in the world.
She was the highest run-scorer with 160 runs at 53.33 average in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against India.
While Mandhana slips one position to second in the latest ODI rankings, there is a notable jump for India captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who is up ten spots to 11th on the batting charts after making a total of 126 runs in the series. Jemimah Rodrigues also rose two spots to 13th on the list.
Harmanpreet didn't start the ODI series well, but finished with 102 in the last match, which helped India seal the series 2-1. She also became the third India women's batter to breach the 4000-run mark during the course of her seventh century.
Rodrigues managed 101 runs in three games, with a highest score of 50 in the final game and 48 in the first.
