Stafanie Taylor claimed the top spot of ICC ODI batter’s displacing Mithali Raj

She also moved up three places to 16th among bowlers and two places up to top among all-rounders.

West Indies skipper Stafanie Taylor dethroned India captain and star batter, Mithali Raj, from the top spot in the current ICC One-Day International rankings on Tuesday. Taylor reclaimed the top spot in both the batting and all-rounder rankings after a brilliant performance in the first ODI in Coolidge, which helped the West Indies beat Pakistan by five wickets.

Taylor’s Player of the Match performance of three for 29 and an unbeaten 105 has propelled her upward in all three rankings. She moved up four spots on the batter’s list, displacing Mithali at the top. She also moved up three places to 16th among bowlers and two places to first among all-rounders, replacing Australia’s Ellyse Perry.
