ICC Ranking : Australia has moved up to the number 1 spot in the ICC Test Rankings, overtaking India.
ICC updates their Test rankings every year. Currently, the Australian team is advancing to the top spot in this test match ranking, pushing the Indian team behind. Pat Cummins-led Australian cricket team rose to the top spot in last year’s World Test Championship at The Oval with a resounding 209-run win over India.
This huge victory has increased the ranking point of the Australian team to 124. Also, the Indian team, which competed with the Australian team, has been relegated to the second place with 120 points. Also, with 105 points, England cricket team is at the 3rd position. While the Indian team has been at the top for a long time, it has now lost this top spot due to the loss in the final of the Test World Cup.
At the same time, although the Indian team missed out on the top spot in the Tests, the Indian team still retained the top spot in the T20 and 50 ODI rankings. With 264 points, the Indian team is at the top in T20 matches. The Australian team is at the 2nd position behind the Indian team with 257 points.
Similarly, the Indian team has retained the top spot in the ODI rankings with 122 points. In that ranking too, the Australian team is at the 2nd position behind the Indian team with 116 points. It is believed that if the Indian cricket team registers a huge victory in the international Test match series to be held after this, it can again take the top spot in the Test rankings.
