A new No.1 men’s ODI all-rounder was crowned on Wednesday, after the latest update to the ICC player rankings<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sikandar Raza becomes new No.1 all-rounder <\/p>\n With a 12-point rise in his all-rounder rating, Zimbabwe stalwart Sikandar Raza<\/a> went past the 300-point mark for the first time ever. In the process, he overtook Afghanistan’s Azmatullah Omarzai, ODI player of the year for 2024, to become the top-ranked all-rounder in the world.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n This rise comes on the back off two solid performances in Zimbabwe’s two ODIs against Sri Lanka earlier this week. In the first match, Raza took 1-48, before top-scoring for his side with 92 in the chase, although he was unable to take them over the line. The following game saw him score an unbeaten 59, before returning 0-46.<\/p>\n Other big movers in the all-rounder rankings from that series are Sri Lankan pair Janith Liyanage and Dilshan Madushanka. <\/p>\n Ben Curran rises 71 spots among batters <\/p>\n Raza’s teammate, opening batter Ben Curran was by far the biggest mover in any category in the ODI rankings. He moved a whopping 71 spots up the ranks, to No.90 in the world. Curran made back-to-back half-centuries against Sri Lanka, scoring 70 and 79.<\/a><\/p>\n Among bowlers, South Africa spinner Keshav Maharaj moved out on his own to the top of the rankings. For the past week, he and Sri Lanka’s Maheesh Theekshana had been tied at No.1, but Maharaj’s 4-22 against England yesterday (September 2), combined with Theekshana’s 0-47 and 0-45 against Zimbabwe, have separated the pair.<\/p>\n ICC men’s ODI batting rankings on September 3, 2025 Rank Player Team Rating 1 Shubman Gill India 784 2 Rohit Sharma India 756 3 Babar Azam Pakistan 739 4 Virat Kohli India 736 5 Daryl Mitchell New Zealand 720 6 Charith Asalanka Sri Lanka 716 7 Harry Tector Ireland 708 8 Shreyas Iyer India 704 9 Shai Hope West Indies 699 10 Ibrahim Zadran Afghanistan 676 <\/p>\n Top winners and losers:<\/p>\n No.90: Ben Curran (+71) No.29: Janith Liyanage (+13) No.80: Brian Bennett (-11) No.22: Sikandar Raza (+9) No.13: Pathum Nissanka (+7) ICC men’s ODI bowling rankings on September 3, 2025 Rank Player Team Rating 1 Keshav Maharaj South Africa 690 2 Maheesh Theekshana Sri Lanka 659 3 Kuldeep Yadav India 650 4 Bernard Scholtz Namibia 644 5 Rashid Khan Afghanistan 640 6 Mitchell Santner New Zealand 637 7 Matt Henry New Zealand 622 8 Ravindra Jadeja India 616 9 Wanindu Hasaranga Sri Lanka 607 10 Gudakesh Motie West Indies 605 <\/p>\n Top winners and losers:<\/p>\n No.87: Gerhard Erasmus (-11) No.90: Dushmantha Chameera (+10) No.52: Dilshan Madushanka (+8) No.75: Tangeni Lungameni (+7) No.19: Jofra Archer (+6) No.31: Asitha Fernando (+6) No.64: Kaleem Sana (+6) No.82: Chris Sole (-6) ICC men’s ODI all-rounder rankings on September 3, 2025 Rank Player Team Rating 1 Sikandar Raza Zimbabwe 302 2 Azmatullah Omarzai Afghanistan 296 3 Mohammad Nabi Afghanistan 292 4 Mehidy Hasan Miraz Bangladesh 249 5 Michael Bracewell New Zealand 246 6 Mitchell Santner New Zealand 238 6 Rashid Khan Afghanistan 238 8 Brandon McMullen Scotland 235 9 Ravindra Jadeja India 220 10 Rachin Ravindra New Zealand 216 <\/p>\n Top winners and losers:<\/p>\n No.89: Janith Liyanage (+19) No.66: Dilshan Madushanka (+15) No.73: Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton (+14) No.98: Wiaan Mulder (+10) No.56: JJ Smit (+8) <\/p>\n Image credit: X \/ Zimbabwe Cricket<\/p>\n Follow Wisden for all cricket updates, including live scores<\/a>, match stats, quizzes<\/a> and more.
