international Cricket Council (ICC) can’t hire a good tech team. For a second time, the ICC has made a big blunder. India became World No 1 across all three formats for 4 hours, only for the ICC to accept the ranking gaffe and make the correction. As per the ICC website, India claimed World No 1 rank in Test at 2:30 PM.

However, by 7 PM, ICC made the change in ranking points. In what seemed unbelievable, Australia lost 15 ranking points to slip to World No 2 while India claimed the top spot. But ICC made the correction later to reflect Australia as World No 1 instead.

In what appears to be a glitch on the ICC website, ICC made India World No 1 in Test with 115 points. Australia slipped to 2nd with 111 points. But it was only a glitch.

It gave the impression that Rohit’s team had briefly claimed the top spot following its innings and 132-run win over the Pat Cummins-led Australia in Nagpur.

It added, “Australia remain on top of the ICC Test Team Rankings after the latest update following the conclusion of Zimbabwe’s two-match series against West Indies. Australia will head into the second Test against India in Delhi, starting on Friday, January 17, as the No.1-ranked team with 126 rating points, 11 above India’s 115.”
