Mohammed Siraj regains No.1 ODI bowler ranking

Talk about reaching the pinnacle and Mohammed Siraj is making a habit of getting to the milestone. In the latest ODI rankings released by ICC, he climbed up to the top of table with 694 points, surpassing his fellow RCB teammate, Josh Hazlewood who finds himself 16 points adrift.

Siraj blew away the Sri Lankan top-order with absolutely merciless bowling as he claimed six wickets that left the hosts in the Asia Cup final gasping for reprieve. Following his trail of rampage, Hardik Pandya raged through the tail of Sri Lanka to leave them utterly gobsmacked.

The rise of Siraj dropped Hazlewood to the second spot with 678 points while Trent Boult of New Zealand finds himself in the third position with 677 points. Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav remained in the top 10, currently holding the ninth position with 638 points.

Shubman Gill continued to remain in the race for the top spot as he kept his second position with 814 points while Virat Kohli gained a spot to climb up to the eighth with 708 points. Rohit Sharma found himself in 10th place, with 696 points.

Hardik Pandya was the only Indian to clinch a position in the top 10 all-rounders list as he gained a spot to climb up to sixth with 243 points. A decent showdown against Sri Lanka in the finale helped him gain some crucial points.
