India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal (up one place to fifth) and fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar (up six places to 17th) are among others to move up in the latest rankings update, which also takes into account India's preceding three-match series against Australia, the five-match series between South Africa and Pakistan, and the three matches between the United Arab Emirates and Nepal.

India skipper Kohli, who played three matches against NZ before taking a break, maintained his top place with 887 points. However, Rohit Sharma narrowed the gap taking his tally to 854 points. Pacer Bumrah topped the bowlers' chart with 808 points, tailed closely by Afghanistan's leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who has 788 points. Kuldeep Yadav maintained his fourth position 719 points, 10 points ahead of his teammate Chahal.

New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult has surged in in the rankings after finishing the series against India with 12 wickets. The 29-year-old left-armer, who swung the ball prodigiously to claim five for 21 and helped New Zealand to a win in the fourth match, has moved up seven places to grab third position. Boult topped the rankings in January 2016, and is again on his way up, with only India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan ahead of him. But in the team rankings, NZ have slipped behind South Africa to fourth place. Nepal now have a full ranking after crossing the threshold of eight matches and are now tied with the UAE at 15 points with their 2-1 win but marginally behind on decimals.
