Rested for the tri-nation cricket series in Zimbabwe, India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni today lost his numero uno status to Australia's Michael Hussey in the latest ICC rankings for ODI batsmen.
Dhoni along with several others were rested by the Indian cricket board for the ongoing triangular series in Zimbabwe, where Suresh Raina is leading the side.

A player loses half a per cent of his ratings points for every match he misses and, as such, Dhoni has already lost 12 ratings points.
The dashing wicket-keeper had regained the top spot from Hussey in February after the Australian scored 23 against New Zealand in the fourth ODI and didn't play in the fifth.
South African AB de Villiers is just two ratings points behind Dhoni at the third position.
