Team India reigned supreme in the white-ball formats - ODIs and T20Is, in the latest ICC annual rankings released on Monday (May 5). While the Men in Blue bagged the top in the limited-overs formats, they stood fourth in the Test rankings. On the other hand, Pakistan suffered a massive hit to its rankings across formats, sitting in the bottom three and four in Tests and T20Is, respectively.
It has come amid rising cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan over the recent Pahalgam terror attack in India’s Kashmir, wherein Pakistan-based terrorists killed 26 innocent lives in broad daylight, all tourists from India and abroad, in the deadliest attack on Indian soil since the 2019 Pulwama bombing.
Meanwhile, fresh from the ICC Champions Trophy triumph in Dubai in February-March, India stood tall in the ODI rankings, boosting their ratings from 122 to 124; New Zealand, the tournament’s runners-up, climbed to the second spot, surpassing Australia, who are now third on the list.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka’s dominant run in ODIs at home since last May, a window that carries the full weightage in this ICC annual rankings, saw them climb to the fourth spot, pushing Pakistan to the fifth and South Africa below it. The former world champions England slipped to the eighth position in the ODI rankings, while Afghanistan, the rising white-ball unit for the past two years, climbed to the seventh. West Indies, however, is ninth on the list, and Bangladesh is below them at an embarrassing 10th.
