Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni are at second and fifth place respectively in the latest ICC ODI rankings for batsmen. Tendulkar is a little behind the South African captain Graeme Smith, who is leading the pack with 792 points, 34 points more than Sachin who has total 758 points.

Dhoni, who has made 135 runs in the Asia Cup so far, shares the fourth place with Australian skipper Ricky Ponting and Mike Hussey on 750 points. The other two Indian batsmen in top-20 are Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir at 14th and 20th spot respectively. Pakistan's Mohammad Yusuf moved one spot up to third place.  

In the bowling rankings, New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori still rules the roost with Australian Nathan Bracken and team-mate Shane Bond following him.

Among all-rounders, Pakistan's captain Shoaib Malik’s unbeaten 125 against India in Asia Cup helped him pip compatriot Shahid Afridi to top the category. Afridi slipped to second spot with New Zealand's Jacob Oram up two places at third place.  

However, Australia continues to be the top-ranked team with South Africa and New Zealand in the second and the third place respectively. India, just one point behind the Kiwis, is fourth. India can secure third rank for itself, if it wins the next matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka in sixth at spot, England is at seventh position, and West Indies is at the eighth slot.
