Sachin Tendulkar [ Images ] moved up a rung to 11th while dashing opener Virender Sehwag [ Images ] also broke into the top-20 in the latest ICC [ Images ] ODI Rankings in which India [ Images ] held on to the third position in the team chart. 

Sehwag rose a rung to 20th in the list released on Monday but Yuvraj Singh [ Images ] dropped a spot to seventh.

Australian skipper Ricky Ponting [ Images ] has gained one place to be sixth in the list but his teammate Michael Hussey [ Images ] dropped one place to fourth with Shivnarine Chanderpaul [ Images ] benefiting from his misfortune.

India continued being at the third spot behind table-toppers Australia [ Images ] and South Africa [ Images ].

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka [ Images ] has a chance to move up two places to fifth in the table if it beats Pakistan in all three ODIs coming up in Karachi and Lahore [ Images ].

Mahela Jayawardena's team currently lies in seventh position following a tour of mixed results in Bangladesh. 

In a tri-series which also involved Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka lost one match to the home side but later exacted revenge in what was a thrilling final. 

Now Sri Lanka is in Karachi for the first ODI on January 20 knowing that a 3-0 result in the series will ensure it leap-frogs both Shoaib Malik's [ Images ] men and sixth-placed England [ Images ]. 

However, the reverse result would relegate Sri Lanka from its current tally of 105 ratings points to 102 which would still be significantly ahead of eighth-placed West Indies [ Images ], which has 91 points to its name at present. 

Victory for Pakistan in the series will ensure it keeps the pressure on India and a 3-0 win will put the team within one point of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's [ Images ] side.
