Australia have replaced India as the No.1-ranked Test team in the ICC rankings. Prior to this, Australia had held the top spot briefly following their win in the World Test Championship final in June, reports www.espncricinfo.com.
Before the latest update, both Australia and India had a rating of 118 each, but India were ahead on points. However, India lost one rating point after they drew their two-match series in South Africa 1-1, and are now placed second. Australia, meanwhile, beat Pakistan in the first two Tests to stay on 118 rating points.
This also means India's reign as the No. 1 team across all three formats has come to an end. In last September, they had become only the second team in men's history to occupy the top spot across formats.
