Smriti Mandhana loses no. 1 spot in ODI rankings as Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma rise
India captain Smriti Mandhana has lost her position at the top of the ICC Women's ODI batting rankings, with South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt reclaiming the No. 1 spot following the latest rankings update. Mandhana dropped valuable rating points after scoring 32 and a duck in India's first two ODIs against Zimbabwe in Vadodara. While India have already secured the three-match series with consecutive victories, Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma and several other Indian players have benefited from their impressive performances.
Former India captain Harmanpreet climbed two places to eighth in the ODI batting rankings, while Deepti Sharma moved up four spots to 23rd after both players scored centuries in the second ODI. Deepti also made progress in the all-rounders' and bowling rankings, rising to fourth among ODI all-rounders and eighth among ODI bowlers. Meanwhile, pacer Kranti Gaud climbed two places to 25th in the ODI bowling rankings, and young batter Pratika Rawal moved up seven spots to a career-best 21st in the batting rankings.
India's players also recorded gains in the latest T20I rankings. Shafali Verma climbed one place to third among T20I batters, while Mandhana moved up to fourth. Zimbabwe players also benefited from the ODI series, with Modester Mupachikwa rising to 39th, Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano moving to 47th and Beloved Biza climbing 16 places to 56th in the batting rankings. Elsewhere, Australia's Ash Gardner rose to 19th among T20I batters, while bowlers Georgia Wareham and Kim Garth moved to joint seventh and joint 10th, respectively. New Zealand's Bree Illing climbed to 17th among T20I bowlers, with Nensi Patel moving up to 29th following the Trans-Tasman series.
