India [ Images ] may have surrendered the ongoing series to Australia [ Images ] but Sachin Tendulkar [ Images ] did well to jump three places and move into the top 10 in latest LG ICC [ Images ] ODI Rankings, issued on Monday.

Tendulkar, who scored a half-century in a lost cause in the Nagpur ODI, moved three rungs to join Chris Gayle [ Images ] of the West Indies [ Images ] at joint ninth.

Down the list, Yuvraj Singh [ Images ] too climbed three places to 15th, followed by captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni [ Images ], who made similar progress.

However, former captain Rahul Dravid [ Images ] slipped seven places and now lies 22nd, while India's highest-placed bowler in the relevant table is Harbhajan Singh [ Images ], down at 29th position.

In contrast, Australia's Andrew Symonds [ Images ] is within touching distance of top spot among ODI batsmen.

The powerful right-hander has rocketed up six spots to second place and is now just eight points behind his captain, Ricky Ponting [ Images ].

Symonds forms an impressive Australian 1-2-3 at the top of the batting table, behind Ponting but ahead of Matthew Hayden [ Images ].

With three other Australia players inside the top 11 -- Michael Hussey [ Images ] (5th), Michael Clarke [ Images ] (8th) and Adam Gilchrist [ Images ] (11th) -- it is not surprising that the Australians hold the World Cup, the ICC Champions Trophy [ Images ] and a clear lead in the ODI Championship table.

Australia's left-arm wrist spinner Brad Hogg [ Images ] also broke into the top 10 on the back of being the joint leading wicket-taker -- alongside teammate Mitchell Johnson [ Images ] -- in the India series with 11 victims.

Hogg is one of three Australia bowlers in that top 10 with Nathan Bracken [ Images ] (3rd) and Brett Lee [ Images ] (9th).

Australia currently holds a seven point lead in the LG ICC ODI Championship table over South Africa [ Images ], while India languish at sixth, behind Pakistan.
