Imam inspired Pakistan to clean sweep West Indies 3-0 in the recent ODI series at home, smashing three half-centuries. His form was duly rewarded as he won the Player of the Series award and made a move on the latest rankings that were released on Wednesday.

Almost Overtaken Virat Kohli As "Ultimate Uber" ODI Batter: West Indies Great On Babar Azam
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has achieved unprecedented success and is already counted as one of the best batters of the modern era. The 27-year-old has played an important role in the recent surge of Pakistan cricket, especially in white-ball cricket. Babar, who is also the top-ranked batter in ODIs and T20Is, has grown leaps and bounds since making his debut in 2015.
