Sikandar Raza Becomes Top-Ranked ODI All-Rounder in Latest ICC Rankings

Sikandar Raza achieved a career-best 302 rating points and climbed nine spots to 22nd in ODI batting rankings after scoring 151 runs and taking a wicket in the series.

  • This past week, Sikandar Raza became the No. 1 ODI all-rounder after the two-match series against Sri Lanka at Harare Sports Club, marking a career first for the 39-year-old Zimbabwe T20 captain.
  • After scoring consecutive fifties, Sikandar Raza aggregated 151 runs and took a wicket recently, earning career-best 302 rating points and surpassing Azmatullah Omarzai.
  • In the opener on August 29, Sikandar Raza struck 92 off 87 but Zimbabwe lost chasing 299 by seven runs, and he remained unbeaten on 59 off 55 in the second ODI as Zimbabwe posted 277/7.
  • The series produced ranking gains for Sri Lanka, notably Pathum Nissanka, Sri Lanka batter, who scored 198 runs, rose to 13th, and was named Player of the Series at Harare Sports Club.
  • At 39, Raza's rise highlights how short series rapidly reshuffle ICC rankings; Wanindu Hasaranga's non‑participation dropped him a spot, aiding Ravindra Jadeja's bowling rise, while Mohammad Nabi slipped in ODI but climbed to second in T20 all‑rounders behind Hardik Pandya.
