All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja of India was the biggest mover in the One-Day International (ODI) bowlers' rankings, jumping four places to fifth while Pakistani spinner Saeed Ajmal continues to lead the rankings released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) Sunday.

Jadeja has earned four places and is now in fifth position after claiming seven wickets in four matches, while Ashwin's nine wickets in the series has given him a lift of seven places that has put him in 14th position.

Amit Mishra has also gained five places to be at 36th.


Meanwhile, the Indian team has been guaranteed retention of its number two position in the ICC ODI Team Rankings at the 1 April cut-off date.
