    South Africa Spinner Maharaj Reclaims Top Spot In Men’s ODI Bowling Rankings

    By IANS News August 20, 2025 • 14:48 PM View: 651
    ODI Bowling Rankings: South Africa’s veteran left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj has reclaimed the number one spot in the ICC Men’s ODI Bowling Rankings following his match-winning performance in the opening game of the three-match series against Australia in Cairns.

    Maharaj, 35, took 5-33 to script a sensational 98-run win for South Africa and was named Player of the Match. That performance has helped him leapfrog India’s Kuldeep Yadav (third place) and Sri Lanka’s Maheesh Theekshana (second position) to regain the top spot, which he had briefly held in late 2023.

    West Indies pacer Jayden Seales is another big mover, climbing 17 places to 19th after his stunning 6-18 took the hosts’ to a series-clinching ODI series win over Pakistan. His team-mate, West Indies’ off-spin bowling all-rounder Roston Chase (up seven places to 67th) and Pakistan leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed (up 18 places to joint-43rd) have also made notable gains.
