India's consecutive victories against England has helped it to move up two places from fifth to third spot on the Reliance Mobile ICC ODI Championship table, released on Tuesday (November 18). On the other hand, England has slipped from third to sixth position. However, if India can continue the way it is going, it can go second in the chart by the end of the ongoing seven-match series.

India’s players are already reaping the rewards of their early successes in the series. Yuvraj Singh, who scored centuries in both matches, has shot up the Reliance Mobile ICC Player Rankings for ODI bowlers. The 26-year-old has gained no fewer than 11 places and now sits in sixth position as he enjoys the highest rating of his career to date.

Pakistan is the other big mover this week as Shoaib Malik’s team has moved up two places to fourth following its 3-0 series win against the West Indies in Abu Dhabi. Despite losing its series with Pakistan, West Indies’ batsmen have made big improvements in the latest rankings. Chris Gayle, who scored two typically entertaining hundreds in the three-match series in the United Arab Emirates, gained six places into fifth position while ICC Cricketer of the Year 2008 Shivnarine Chanderpaul is just ahead of him having jumped two places to fourth.

The batting rankings are still headed by India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni followed by Australia’s Michael Hussey in second place and Graeme Smith of South Africa in third. The big mover in the Reliance Mobile ICC Player Rankings for ODI bowlers is Sohail Tanvir, who has broken into the top 10 bowlers for the first time in his career after an impressive performance against the West Indies.
