India drops to fourth in ICC Test rankings |
Dubai: India has dropped down one place to fourth in the ICC Test Championships table after the annual update released today, which reflects the performance of only the last three years with the older results being discarded.
Sri Lanka, riding on its Test series win over Pakistan, leveled India (119) on points but replaced Mahendra Singh Dhoni`s team at number three after re-calculation upto the nearest decimal -- 0.01 ratings points difference.
Australia (124) clung on to the top above second-placed South Africa (122) as just five ratings points separate top four teams.
But Ricky Ponting`s men must win both the remaining Ashes Tests to stay there. Otherwise, it will be Graeme Smith`s turn to lead the number-one Test team in the world. |
