Virat Kohli, 24-year-old had series aggregate of 344 runs at an average of 114.66, and a reward of 38 ratings points to put him into the number-one spot for the first time in his career, just a few days before his 25th birthday. Kohli has now become the third Indian batsman to hold the number-one batting rank in ODI cricket, after Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni. Kohli now leads South Africa's Hashim Amla by 13 ratings points. Amla had been holding the coveted number-one position since November 2010.

In the rankings for ODI bowlers, Pakistan's Saeed Ajmal has regained the number-one position, while Jadeja has slipped two places to finish in third spot. The 3-2 series win for India means that they continue to sit on top of the team rankings with Australia in second position, nine ratings points behind.
