On Wednesday, the latest ICC rankings were released bringing joy to every Indian cricket fan as India became No.1 ranked team across all formats.
India celebrated this success on the global level in Tests, T20Is, and ODIs. The ICC website showed India ranked number one in Tests with 115 rating points and Australia as second with 111 points, however, the table got updated hours later and Australia returned to the top position with 126 points, while India slipped to the second spot with 115 points.
Though mistakes can happen, such goof-ups coming from the website of cricket’s governing body left everyone confused and surprised at the same time.
Meanwhile, both India and Australia are currently involved in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series with the hosts India leading the four-match series 1-0. The first Test in Nagpur saw India crack open Australia's confidence with a dominating win by an innings and 132 runs inside three days.
Team India will now face Australia in the second Test at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi, starting February 17. While India are likely to go ahead with the winning XI in the second Test, expect a sea of changes in the Australian line-up as they chase history in India this time.
