And fellow teammate Virat Kohli continued his dominance atop on the chart. With a total of 296 runs (at an average of 59.20) from 5 innings, which included a blistering 125 in Nagpur, Rohit top-scored for the third consecutive time in an India-Australia bilateral series.

With 790 points in his account, he now stands four points clear off Babar Azam, at rank five. Apart from Rohit, none have made a significant progression in the top-10 positions. Virat continued his dominance atop with 877 points, followed by Aussie opener David Warner (865). South Africa's AB de Villiers (847) and England's Joe Root (802) finishes off with top-five roundup.
