ICC gets trolled after reversing Test rankings, India lose top spot

Team India on Wednesday got the top spot in the ICC Test rankings replacing Australia. However, the ICC changed the rankings within hours and restored Australia to the top spot. India briefly became the No. 1 ranked team in all three formats. The men in blue are already at the top spot in ODIs and T20Is. 

Now, after the ICC blunder, netizens are criticising it, while some are still congratulating Team India for the now-withdrawn feat. Australia currently have 3,668 points in 29 matches and have a rating of 126, while India have dropped down to the 2nd spot with 115 rating. India have 3690 points in 32 matches.

The Test rankings came after India’s win against Australia in the opening Test in Nagpur. Team India recently clinched the World No.1 ODI team spot after defeating New Zealand 3-0 in January, to go with their No. 1 T20I ranking.
