India has leapfrogged Australia to become the number 1 Test team in the ICC rankings and thus created history to claim all three top spots in all the three formats. Rohit Sharma has added another feather to his cap as the Mumbai Indians captain has now steered the Indian team to another historical milestone. Only South African side managed to achieve this feat back in 2014. However, it proved to be a dampner as it was found that India's elevation happened due to a technical glitch on ICC's website.
India vs Australia
India defeated Australia by an inning and 132 runs in Nagpur and they are slated to host the Aussies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the second Test starting on 17th February. The Men in Blue could still claim a place in the World Test Championship final if they get the better of Australia in the Border-Gavaskar trophy.
Twitter erupted with various kinds of reactions as India rode to the top.
Proud of team India ..Congratulations..💐🎉..@BCCI#Cricket #NumberOne ..👍👍 https://t.co/IzPi9fKI7c
