The ICC test rankings only change at the end of each series, Australia and India are not part of any at the moment

Ahead of their four-match Test series against Australia at home, the Indian team saw their name top the ICC Test Teams Rankings, due to a technical glitch on the website. The ICC test rankings only change at the end of each series, and neither Australia nor India are currently among them. This ranking was last updated on January 8, 2023 after Australia defeated South Africa 2-0 in the three-match home series.

Team led by Pat Cummins secured the ranking with 126 points, while Team India was sitting second with 115 points.

However, due to an alleged technical glitch on the ICC website, India dropped Australia from the Test rankings.

Fans took a screenshot of the leaderboard and posted a tweet, but the issue only lasted two hours as Australia regained the top spot.

Based on the screenshots shared by fans, India retained their position but took the top spot due to Australia losing by 15 points.

In addition, South Africa, which was ranked fourth, dropped to fifth place while West Indies fell from eighth to sixth place.

However, India will have a chance to get past Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which will start on February 9.
