India has retained its second position on the ICC Test team rankings following the Wellington Test, which ended in a draw to give New Zealand a 1-0 series win, but the series result has made Australia’s task of finishing ahead of India on the table before the 1 April cut-off date slightly easier.
India has slipped from 117 ratings points to 112 ratings points, and is ahead of Australia by just one ratings point. This means Australia, which leads South Africa 1-0 in the three-Test series, now needs minimum of a draw in the series to move ahead of India.
If Australia wins the series 1-0, it will rise to 115 ratings points, whereas a 2-0 win will put it on 116 ratings points
