Bangalore, 5th February: After the victory over England in the second Test, India has ascended to the second position in the ICC World Test Championship points table. Despite Australia maintaining their stronghold at the top spot, India’s recent performance has put them within striking distance of claiming the number one position.
Currently, Australia leads the rankings with a commanding lead of 2.23 points. However, with three Tests remaining against England in this series, India has a chance to surpass Australia and claim the coveted top spot.
Meanwhile, England finds themselves languishing in the eighth position with 25.00 points. Despite their low ranking, England’s lackluster performance in the Test format indicates a concerning disregard for the World Test Championship.
The fluctuating nature of the rankings is expected to continue until the culmination of the 2025 season. Following the conclusion of the season, the top two teams will vie for the World Test Championship title in a decisive Test match.
Current Rankings in the World Test Championship:
- Australia – 55.00
- India – 52.77
- South Africa – 50.00
- Bangladesh – 50.00
- Pakistan – 36.65
- Windies – 33.33
- England – 25.00

India’s rise in the rankings underscores their growing dominance in Test cricket and sets the stage for an exciting battle for the top spot in the coming matches.
