They are now in joint-31st position after Sodhi's eight wickets in the series helped him climb up 26 slots and Ferguson's seven wickets lifted him 12 places to a career-best position in the list led by India fast bowler Bumrah.
Sri Lanka captain Lasith Malinga is another bowler to gain in the latest update, moving up three ranks to take 46th spot after finishing with seven wickets in the series.
Among international batsmen, Ross Taylor and Martin Guptill have maintained their third and 14th positions scoring 281 and 153 runs, respectively, while New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has dropped out of the top-10 to 11th position.

They have gained one point to move up to 113 while Sri Lanka remained its eighth position but have lost one point to drop to 78 points. Meanwhile, more sides will be looking to move up the rankings while also preparing for the ICC World Cup in England and Wales from May 30 to July 14, with 13 matches scheduled in a period of just over three weeks.
