Sachin Tendulkar [Images] continues to be India's Most Valuable Player (MVP) in one-day internationals in the current season, even though he has played in only 11 of India's 14 ODI games after the disastrous World Cup 2007.
It's been an extraordinary comeback by the veteran batsman.
Sourav Ganguly [Images] is placed fourth. He would certainly have been in the top three if he had played all the India ODI games this season.
Yuvraj Singh's [Images] second place is more predictable, because he always scores quickly and bowls a bit too.
Rahul Dravid's [Images] third place is a bit of a surprise, he's up there because of a vastly improved strike rate (87 runs per 100 balls this season, his career strike rate is 71 per 100 balls). Dravid has always scored a lot of runs, but seldom at such a frenetic pace.

The table below lists the Most Valuable Players at the end of the recently concluded seven-match NatWest ODI series in England [Images].
Ian Bell [Images] topped the list (he was also the man of the series) and England captain Paul Collingwood [Images] was second.
Only three Indians (all batsmen -- Tendulkar, Yuvraj and Ganguly) figured in the top 10, so England were indeed deserving winners. India had the greater batting firepower, but England had a much better balanced team.
The most valuable players in the India-England series:
Rank | Player | Runs | Balls | Bat-pts | Rc | Bb | W | Bowl-pts | Ct|St | Run outs | Field-pts | M | Total |
