Openers from India and Sri Lanka have been the big winners after they made good ground near the top of the updated ICC Men's ODI Batter Rankings

Pakistan's Babar Azam holds a healthy lead at the head of the list for ODI batters. The star Pakistan batsman has 824 rating points, but he has some fresh challenges in the form of India skipper Rohit Sharma and Sri Lanka right-hander Pathum Nissanka

Rohit Sharma with 765 rating points overtook teammate Shubman Gill and rose one place to second behind Babar on the back of his series-best 157 runs against Sri Lanka

Pathum Nissanka also gained a spot to move to eighth following his 101 runs from the same series. Sri Lanka broke a 27-year drought by defeating India for the first time since 1997 during that ODI series

Hard-hitting Netherlands opener Max O'Dowd went up 10 places to 54 and USA's Monank Patel (up 11 spots to equal 56th) also made ground on this list
