Indian team captain  has regained the number-one batting position while his side has returned to second spot in the Reliance Mobile ICC ODI Championship after its two matches in the Asia Cup in Dambulla, Sri Lanka.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who had started the tournament in third place trailing number-one ranked Michael Hussey of Australia by eight ratings points, scored 38 not out against Bangladesh and 56 against Pakistan.

India's successive victories in the Asia Cup have also ensured that it returns to number-two position in the ICC ODI Championship.
