India 3rd in ODI, Kohli at No 2

Published on: 

Away from the 50-over format for a while, India were placed third while mainstay Virat Kohli held the second position in the batting chart in the latest ICC ODI rankings released here on Friday.

India were positioned third with 110 points behind Australia (124) and New Zealand (113).

With 813 points in his kitty, Kohli was only behind South African’s AB de Villiers and a place ahead of Hashim Amla in the batting list. Besides Kohli, Rohit Sharma (7th) and Shikhar Dhawan (8th) were in the list.

The ICC announced that following remedial work and re-assessments, the bowling actions of Bangladesh's Arafat Sunny and Taskin Ahmed have been found to be legal, and both players can immediately resume bowling in international cricket. At the re-assessments it was revealed that the amount of elbow extension in all of Arafat and Taskin's deliveries were now within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC regulations.
