India will have one more reason to give their best in the fourth one-dayer against Australia at Mohali as a victory there would dethrone the visitors from the top of the ICC ODI Championships table.
MS Dhoni's men have narrowed the gap with Australia (127 points) at the top of the table to just one ratings point after taking a 2-1 lead in the seven-match series. India had trailed Australia by four ratings points before the start of the series. An Australian victory on Monday will, however, open the gap to three ratings points. South Africa are third with 121 points.
Dhoni continues to lead the ODI batsmen rankings but Yuvraj Singh slipped a place, losing his second place to Australia vice-captain Mike Hussey.
Among bowlers, led by New Zealander Kyle Mills, off-spinner Harbhajan Singh is the only Indian in the top 20 at joint 19th, with Praveen Kumar the next best at 22nd spot.
