Looks like it’s going to be a great year for the Indian Cricket team. After starting off with some nail biting matches, the team has now bagged the third position in the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings in the One Day International (ODI) category.
While South Africa held its top spot, India edged out New Zealand, although the Kiwis gained two positions themselves. For India though, it is a big leap of five positions with a total of 117 points. It is all down to winning the Championship Trophy. The leadership and the hard work of the team has got the Country to this laudable position.
Another surprising entry was that of Pakistan at the eight position, beating West Indies by 9 points. Australia (2nd Position) and Afghanistan (10th Position) are the only two teams holding on to their previous ranks.
Take a look at the complete Rank Team Points and the move in the rank ladder:
- South Africa 123 (+4)
- Australia 118 (—)
- India 117 (+5)
- New Zealand 115 (+2)
- England 109 (+1)
- Sri Lanka 93 (—5)
- Bangladesh 91 (—1)
- Pakistan 88 (—2)
- West Indies 79 (—4)
