Team Australia dethroned India to become the new No. 1 ranked side
In a dramatic shift at the top of the Test team rankings, the Australian cricket team has reclaimed its position at the top after dethroning India following their series win over Pakistan.
The Australian team, captained by Pat Cummins, has been on an exceptional streak, including a series of victories on home soil against Pakistan, which played a pivotal role in propelling them back to the top spot. This also includes their monumental World Test Championship win over Rohit Sharma and his men last year in England. The win had helped them secure the top spot briefly.
The ascent of Australia to the top marks the end of India's tenure as the leading Test team, a position they had secured through consistent performances across various formats.
Previously, both teams were locked in a stalemate, each boasting a rating of 118 in the rankings. However, India held a slender advantage due to a superior accumulation of points.
India's recent draw in a two-test series against South Africa, coupled with Australia's flawless record against Pakistan, tipped the scales in favor of the Aussies.
