Dubai: India’s massive victory in the first Test against Australia in Nagpur took them to the top in the latest ICC Test rankings on Wednesday, making them the No. 1 ranked team in all three formats.
India recently became the top-ranked ODI team after beating New Zealand 3-0 in January, to go with their No. 1 T20I ranking.
The Rohit Sharma-led side will need to win the second Test against Australia in Delhi, which starts on February 16, to stay on top of the Test rankings and also move a step closer to qualifying for the World Test Championship final in June. They need to win the series 3-1 or 3-0 to make the final.
India had beaten Australia by an innings and 132 runs in Nagpur, with R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma making key contributions.
