Zimbabwe’s seasoned campaigner Sikandar Raza continues his consistent run, holding the second spot with 302 rating points. Raza, who reached his career peak of 302 against Sri Lanka at Harare in 2025, remains one of the most dependable all-rounders in world cricket. Close behind him is Afghanistan’s veteran Mohammad Nabi at No. 3 with 285 points, though his all-time best remains an impressive 350, recorded against Ireland in Greater Noida in 2017.
Bangladesh’s Mehidy Hasan Miraz stands at fourth with 273 rating points, having earlier touched a career-best 295 against India at Mirpur in 2022. Afghanistan continues to dominate the upper tier with Rashid Khan in fifth place on 257 points; his career-high of 352 came against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi in 2018, a performance that still ranks among the finest in ODI all-rounder history.
New Zealand’s Mitchell Santner holds sixth position with 255 points, having previously attained a high of 309 against England at Christchurch in 2018. His compatriot Michael Bracewell follows at seventh with 239 points, reflecting his growing influence since achieving a best of 250 against England at Bay Oval in 2025.
Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga, with a rating of 234, occupies the eighth spot after reaching a peak of 252 against Oman in Bulawayo in 2023. Scotland’s Brandon McMullen sits ninth on 228 points, his highest being 247 achieved against the Netherlands earlier this year. Completing the top ten is India’s Axar Patel with 215 points, not far removed from his career-best 229 posted against Australia at Sydney in 2025.
The December 2025 rankings illustrate not only a reshuffling of cricket’s top multi-skill performers but also a broader shift in competitive balance, with emerging nations asserting themselves alongside established cricketing powers. Omarzai’s ascent, combined with Afghanistan’s strong representation in the top five, signals a new era in ODI all-rounder excellence—one that is increasingly shaped by dynamic performers from across the cricketing world.
