Rohit has moved up one place in the rankings to fourth position and sits on 769 points, completing three India players in the top five. Quinton de Kock rounds out the top five following his stellar tournament, but he drops two places from his previous position in the rankings.

However, the biggest move was made by Australia opener Travis Head following his match-winning century in the World Cup final. Head scored 137 off 120 balls against India in Ahmedabad, taking Australia to within two runs of victory before he was dismissed. He recovered from a broken hand to join the tournament halfway through the group stages, and scored a century against New Zealand in his first match back for Australia. He went on to scored a half-century in a tight semi-final against South Africa which earned him the Player of the Match award, and award he was also given for his performance in the final.

Following those performances, Head has jumped a staggering 28 places in the ICC rankings, and is now in 15th place overall.
