Australia Overtake India in the As No.1 Test Team In ICC Test Rankings

Australia has replaced the Indian Team at the top of the ICC Test Rankings, the Men In Blue though have managed to retain the top spots in ODIs and T20s.

In this cycle, the matches played only after May 2021 are taken into consideration for the ranking, which means India's 2-1 series win in Australia in December 2020-January 2021 has dropped out. All results between May 2021 and May 2023 are weighted at 50%, while the ones in the following 12 months are weighted at 100%.

As a result, Australia, who also won the World Test Championship title last year, now has 124 rating points, four clear of second-placed India (118), and 19 ahead of third-placed England (105). Both India and Australia are next in action in the format only in November, when they play against each other in the Border Gavaskar Trophy slated to begin in Perth.
