Virat Kohli scored 330 runs in the 5-match series, including an unbeaten 110 in the last match, consolidated his position at the top of the ICC ODI Rankings
Kohli, who is also top-ranked in T20Is, has increased his lead over Australia’s David Warner from 12 to 26 points and is now on 887 points – equaling the highest ODI rating points by an India batsman, recorded by Sachin Tendulkar in 1998.
Apart from Kohli, his deputy Rohit Sharma and his predecessor, MS Dhoni, moved into the top 10 of the batsmen’s rankings after having a memorable series that saw them scoring 302 runs and 162 runs respectively.
Jasprit Bumrah, who has adjudged Player of the series for taking 15 wickets in five matches, jumped 27 places from 31st to reach a career best fourth position in the ICC ODI rankings for the bowlers.
After all the hard work the Men in Blue wasted no time in their celebrations led by MS Dhoni.
The former India skipper gave fans a nostalgic moment as he took Virat Kohli and co for a ride in Jasprit Bumrah’s man-of-the-match awarded car. Given his liking for car, Dhoni used to celebrate every series win by taking his mates for a ride and ensured he treated his fans once again
Handed over the keys by Bumrah, Dhoni flaunted off his driving skills with a smooth ride.
