Imam, who had quiet ODI outings against New Zealand scoring just 17 runs in two matches in Karachi, has slipped to the number six spot in the latest rankings.

Meanwhile, former India captain Kohli was rewarded for his recent match-winning performances in the recently concluded ODI series against Sri Lanka.

The prolific runs getter smashed two centuries while amassing a whopping 283 runs from three innings against the visitors. He jumped two places to fourth overall on the latest list for ODI batters.

While Pakistan skipper Babar Azam remains way out in front with 887 rating points, Kohli rises to a total of 750 points and has second-placed Rassie van der Dussen (766) and third-placed Quinton de Kock (759) well within his sights.
