NEW DELHI: Star Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj slipped to third spot after Australia’s Josh Hazlewood displaced him from the top spot in the latest ICC ODI rankings for bowlers on Wednesday.
Siraj has slipped behind Hazlewood and New Zealand’s Trent Boult after India’s 10-wicket loss to Australia in Visakhapatnam.
Hazlewood, whose career best second position was attained for the first time in June 2017 and which he had kept since August 2022, is No. 1 in ODIs for the first time.
Australian paceman Mitchell Starc’s eight wickets in the two matches against India also see him go to joint-third position with Siraj.
Siraj, who returned with impressive figures of 3/29 to help India win the first ODI against Australia, was expensive in the second ODI giving away 37 runs in three overs and consequently lost his position as the top-ranked bowler.
Other bowlers to move up the ODI rankings include West Indies’ Alzarri Joseph (up eight places to 11th), India’s Mohammad Shami (up five places to 28th) and Netherlands’ Fred Klaasen (up 22 places to 52nd).
