Pakistan's off spinner Saeed Ajmal and South Africa's batsman Faf du Plessis have stormed to the top position in the International Cricket Council (ICC) ODI rankings.
Du Plessis attained the top position after a stellar performance against Australia in Harare wherein he scored 464 runs in the triangular series, reported the Express Tribune.
Du Plessis is the fourth South African batsman to feature inside the top 11, with captain AB de Villiers retaining the number one position from teammate Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock slipping two places to 9th position.
West Indies off spinner Sunil Narine is back on second rank while South African fast bowler Dale Steyn moved to the third position replacing England's James Anderson.
