He has equalled Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, who also scored 360 runs in a three-match ODI series against West Indies in 2016, smashing a century in each match.

The series between Ireland and Zimbabwe was also recently completed and some in-form players were rewarded on the latest rankings update.
