Indian cricket team has lost the top spot in the ICC Test rankings to Australia dropping to third after their stupendous 2016-17 record was eliminated from the annual update as per rules.
India dropped in the ladder largely because the record of 12 Tests victories and just one Test defeat in 2016-17 was removed in the latest chart.
Australia, the top-ranking country, now has 116 points. It is followed by New Zealand with 115 points and India with 114 points.
India yielded the top spot in Test rankings for the first time since October 2016. It continues to lead the ICC World Test Championship.
