Ajmal termed his top ranking as a "great honour."
"It's a great honour to be the best spinner in the world but performing in my team's win is always more important for me than anything else,"
The International Cricket Council (ICC) added: "Ajmal earned 117 ratings points for his magnificent bowling performance, now has England's second-ranked James Anderson firmly within his sights who has 37 more ratings points."
