- The latest update lists Mitchell on 845 rating points with Kohli at 795, separating the pair from the rest of the field.
- Mitchell’s series produced scores of 84, 131* and 137, the Player of the Series award, and a 219-run stand with Glenn Phillips in the Indore decider.
- New Zealand’s victory delivered their first bilateral ODI series win in India in 37 years, triggering a broader reshuffle at the top of the batting rankings.
- Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran moved up to third on 764 points as Rohit Sharma slipped to fourth on 757, with Glenn Phillips climbing 16 spots to 20th after his 106.
