<p>India&#39;s stand-in captain Rohit Sharma has moved two spots up to grab the fifth position among batsmen in the latest ICC ODI Player Rankings.</p>

<p>The Mumbai batsman moved two places up after he scored his third ODI double-century in the recently concluded three-match series against Sri Lanka.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to an ICC media release, Rohit&#39;s current tally stands at&nbsp;816, after the splendid knock of 208 (not out) in the second ODI. The Indian opener has crossed the 800-point mark for the first time in his career. &nbsp;</p>

<p>However, it&#39;s not Rohit&#39;s career-best ranking as he held No. 3 position last year in February.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shikhar Dhawan, who was named player of the series, too gained one slot to reach 14th position after aggregating 168 runs including an unbeaten 100 in the third ODI at Visakhapatnam.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dhawan had slammed 68 in the second match, figuring in a 115-run opening stand with Sharma.</p>

<p>Skipper Virat Kohli, who rested himself from the series as he recently got married to Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, still leads the batting chart with 876 points. &nbsp;</p>

<p>For Indian bowlers, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal moved up 23 positions to take 28th place after finishing with six wickets in the series. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Madhya Pradesh Pannalal Shakya set off a massive controversy on Tuesday after he questioned Indian cricket captain Virat Kolhi and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma&#39;s decision to get married in Italy, and not in India.</p>

<p>&quot;Ram, Krishna, Yudhishthira married in India. All you people have either been married or will be married in India. No one goes to a foreign land to get married like they did. He earned his money and fame in India and took it abroad,&quot; the BJP MLA said. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The couple are among India&rsquo;s most popular celebrities and stories of their romance have been making headlines for years.</p>


Virushka got married in a private ceremony in Tuscany, Italy on December 11, 2017

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Madhya Pradesh Pannalal Shakya set off a massive controversy on Tuesday after he questioned Indian cricket captain Virat Kolhi and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma's decision to get married in Italy, and not in India. "He is loved by millions, he represents India on the world stage, why did he not hold his wedding ceremony in India?" Shakya said. "This is not rashtra bhakti," he added. Shakya said Kohli cannot be an inspiration to Indians since only those who are loyal to their country and swear by it deserve to be inspirations. The MLA added that Virat earned his money and fame in India but chose to take that money out of the country and to a foreign land. "Ram, Krishna, Yudhishthira married in India. All you people have either been married or will be married in India. No one goes to a foreign land to get married like they did. He earned his money and fame in India and took it abroad," the BJP MLA said. Virushka got married in a private ceremony in Tuscany, Italy on December 11, with only family and close friends in attendance. The couple are among India’s most popular celebrities and stories of their romance have been making headlines for years.

<p>2017 has set the precedent for the coming years in terms of weddings as most celebrities who got married this year stuck to private, intimate ceremonies with close family and friends.
