Tendulkar Jumps To Third

India's iconic batsman Sachin Tendulkar has jumped to third position in the ICC Player Rankings for ODI batsmen after belting a record-breaking double-century in the second ODI against South Africa in Gwalior on Wednesday.

Tendulkar, who returned undefeated on 200 in his 442nd appearance, has lifted three places and now trails second-placed Mike Hussey of Australia by 43 points with India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni strengthening his position at the top of the rankings after hitting a 35-ball 68 not out.

It is Tendulkar's highest ranking in two years after he had reached second position following an unbeaten 117 against Australia in Sydney.

While Tendulkar has vaulted into third position, his fellow opener Virender Sehwag has dropped one place to 10th position
