Afghanistan\u2019s Rashid Khan held steady in second place.<\/p>\n<p>Afridi had earlier briefly held the top spot during the ICC Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2023 in India.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His bowling partner, Haris Rauf, also made significant progress, rising 14 spots to secure 13th place \u2014 a career-high rating in the format \u2014 after being named Player of the Series in Pakistan\u2019s 2-1 triumph over Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Naseem Shah also reached a new career peak, climbing 14 positions to join 55th place in the rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Following Afridi\u2019s rise to the top, the top-ranked players in both batting and bowling rankings are now from Pakistan as star batter Babar Azam continued his dominance.<\/p>\n<p>The right-handed batter extended his lead atop from India\u2019s Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli, respectively, courtesy of his 80 runs across three matches against Australia, in which he was dismissed only once.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan\u2019s newly-appointed white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan also made gains as he jumped two spots to a joint 23rd in the ODI batting rankings following his 74 runs in three innings against Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Afghanistan\u2019s veteran Mohammad Nabi, who is set to call time on his glittering ODI career, remained at the top of the all-rounders\u2019 rankings. <\/p>\n<p>He is followed by Zimbabwe\u2019s Sikandar Raza and compatriot Rashid in the list.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            setTimeout(function(){\n                var
