New Delhi, 28/9:Indian captain Mithali Raj on Tuesday lost her No. 1 chair in the latest ICC Women’s ODI Rankings.

However, Indian fast bowler Jhulan Goswami has definitely jumped in the ICC rankings and has captured the second number. Mithali Raj suffered a poor performance in the recently concluded ODI series against Australia. Mithali scored just 87 runs in the three-match series at an average of 29 and now has 738 points.
South Africa’s Lizelle Lee has moved up from second place to the top spot with 761 points. Alyssa Healy, who scored 112 runs in three matches against India, is second with 750 points. Another Indian batsman Smriti Mandhana has gained one place to reach the sixth position. He has 710 marks.
