By winning the last two matches against England, Team India has not only leveled the series but has also taken the lead by winning the third match. At present India is at second place in the ICC Test rankings. However, India has a chance to regain the number 1 spot.
ICC has not updated the rankings recently. The last update was on January 28, 2024, when Australia was at the top position with 117 ratings. At that time India's rating was also 117, which was in second place. Since then, India has won two matches against England, due to which its rating is likely to increase. However, the lack of recent updates makes the current scenario unclear.
Australia and England may suffer a setback in the rankings. As mentioned earlier, both India and Australia have similar ratings. If we look at other teams, England is currently in third place with 115 ratings. England has lost two consecutive matches, which has affected its rating. South Africa is currently in fourth place with 106 ratings. After the ranking update, it will be interesting to see which team among England and South Africa gets the third position.
Team India is already on top in ODI and T20. With Rohit Sharma leading the way in both formats, India are ranked No. 1 with a rating of 121 in ODIs and 266 in T20Is. Australia is second in ODI with 118 rating and New Zealand is second in T20 with 256 rating. At present, there does not seem to be any threat to Team India's top position in the limited overs format. The focus now turns to the expected update in the ICC Test rankings.
