DUBAI: India have climbed to the number one spot in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Men’s Test Team Rankings following an emphatic 4-1 series victory against England.
The Indian team moved past Australia who are now second in the table, according to the rankings released by the ICC late on Saturday.
India lost the opening Test against England before bouncing back to win the remaining four matches, including the final game which ended in Dharamsala on Saturday.
In January, India had slipped to second place in the Test rankings after a drawn 1-1 series against South Africa.
Australia overtook India at the top after sweeping the three-Test series at home against Pakistan.
Currently, Australia lead the two-Test series against New Zealand 1-0 following their 172-run victory in Wellington.
India will remain at the top regardless of the outcome of the second New Zealand-Australia Test in Christchurch.
Notably, India are already the number-one team in the ICC Men’s ODI Rankings as well as the ICC Men’s T20I Rankings.
They are also at the top of the ICC World Test Championship Standings table.
