Australia topple India to reclaim no.1 crown – India TV

Australia men’s cricket team ended India’s reign as the no.1 ICC team across formats on Friday, January 5. Australia replaced India to reclaim the no.1 Test team crown after thrashing Pakistan in the ongoing red-ball series at home while India had to settle for a 1-1 result against South Africa in their recent Test assignment.

After securing a three-match series, Australia moved to the top with 118 ratings in the ICC Test team rankings chart. India recorded a sensational seven-wicket win against South Africa in Cape Town on Thursday but their embarrassing defeat in Centurion cost them an apex position in the ICC team standings.
