Shubman Gill and Shaheen Afridi among big gainers in ICC ODI rankings

Shubman Gill, who has scores of 10 and 67 not out in the Asia Cup so far, and Ishan Kishan, who hit 87 in his only outing in the competition, have moved to No. 3 with a career-high 750 rating points and No. 24 respectively on the ICC men's ODI batting rankings.

Babar Azam, the top-ranked batter on the table, did his cause quite a lot of good with a 131-ball 151 in his only innings, against Nepal. He is on 882 rating points currently, over a hundred points ahead of second-placed Rassie van der Dussen (777 points), while Gill isn't too far behind van der Dussen, with 750 points. Imam-ul-Haq and Harry Tector round off the top five, while Fakhar Zaman (No. 7) and Virat Kohli (No. 10) are also in the top ten.

Shaheen Shah Afridi, back in full flow, has been in red-hot form at the Asia Cup, especially when he nipped out Rohit Sharma, Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja on his way to returns of 4 for 35 against India. That's moved him up four spots to No. 5 on the bowlers' list. Haris Rauf wasn't too shabby in that rained-out match either, returning 3 for 58, and with his 2 for 16 against Nepal, he has moved up 14 spots to No. 29th. Mohammed Siraj is in eighth place on that list.

Key performers from the other teams participating in the Asia Cup have also gained in the rankings.

Shakib Al Hasan is up two places to tenth among bowlers on the table which has Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Matt Henry in the top three, while Maheesh Theekshana has moved up five spots to 15th.

Markram, Mitchell Marsh rise in T20I rankings

In T20Is, the less-important format in an ODI World Cup year, Australia have just swept South Africa 3-0 in South Africa, while England and New Zealand have drawn their four-match series in England (the rankings are updated till the end of the third game).

Aiden Markram hit 97 runs in three innings - second only to Reeza Hendricks' 101 among South Africans - has helped him move up one spot to joint-third (with Babar) among T20I batters, where Suryakumar Yadav and Mohammad Rizwan are one and two. Mitchell Marsh, the Player of the Series for his table-topping 186 runs, has gone up 14 spots to No. 11 on the same list.

From the England vs New Zealand series, Glenn Phillips (up three spots to No. 14) and Finn Allen (up 22 spots to No. 22) have made big gains following series returns of 174 and 123 runs respectively. Inside the top ten, Jos Buttler has moved up two places to No. 8 after scoring 53 runs in two innings, while Harry Brook continued his remarkable rise across formats with a jump of 51 spots to joint-27th (with Nazmul Hossain Shanto) after scoring 122 runs in four innings.

Among bowlers, Adil Rashid's three wickets in the first three games helped him rise two positions to second - behind Rashid Khan - and Sam Curran moved up one spot to No. 8.
