It looks like this:

Anyone knows how to do this?

fnRowCallback in the config. Use iDisplayIndexFull instead of iDisplayIndex. Otherwise it shows the row of the displayed tabled (without paging)
$('#myTable').DataTable({
"fnRowCallback": function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull ) {
$('td:eq(0)', nRow).html(iDisplayIndexFull +1);
}
});
Here is an another new solution which works with Datatable 1.10.
It has worked for me through sorts, searches, and page length changes. Here is my solution:
Briefly discussed in here: https://datatables.net/examples/api/counter_columns.html
$(document).ready(function() {
var t = $('#example').DataTable( {
"columnDefs": [ {
"searchable": false,
"orderable": false,
"targets": 0
} ],
"order": [[ 1, 'asc' ]]
} );
t.on( 'draw.dt', function () {
var PageInfo = $('#example').DataTable().page.info();
t.column(0, { page: 'current' }).nodes().each( function (cell, i) {
cell.innerHTML = i + 1 + PageInfo.start;
} );
} );
} );
