India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni [Images] continues to top the batting chart in the Reliance [Get Quote] Mobile ICC [Images] ODI rankings, issued on Wednesday.

Dhoni, with 793 rating points in his kitty, is way ahead of Australia's [Images] Mike Hussey [Images] (776) and South Africa's [Images] Graeme Smith [Images] (764), who are in second and third place respectively.

Dhoni's teammate Sachin Tendulkar [Images] is the other Indian in the top 10 at the eighth, with 724 rating points.

Australia (131) leads the table while South Africa (118) and England [Images] (116) are second and third respectively.
