Axar Patel, India's left-arm spinner and lower order batsman, has climbed five places to be ranked ninth in the latest International Cricket Council Rankings for bowlers in One-Day Internationals.
This is the youngster's first ever foray into the top ten of the ICC Rankings. Although Patel picked up just four wickets, he was impressive in drying up the runs and increasing the pressure on the visiting New Zealand side.
Another spinner who had a terrific outing in the ODI series, Amit Mishra, too, enjoyed a steady rise in the rankings. Mishra, who was named Man of the Series having claimed 15 wickets in the five ODIs, jumped 25 places to be placed twelfth on the list, alongside South Africa's Dale Steyn.
Trent Boult is the top-ranked ODI bowler, followed by Sunil Narine and Imran Tahir.
For New Zealand, few positives came out of the India tour - the biggest among them being left-hander Tom Latham. Latham was one of the few New Zealand batsmen to hold his own against the Indian attack. Latham's 244 runs in the series helped him rise to a career-high 39th position in the ODI rankings for batsmen.
AB de Villiers is the current leader of the pack in ODIs, and is closely followed by Virat Kohli, who has enjoyed a stellar 2016.
