Dubai: India can inch towards regaining the top spot by narrowing the gap with current numero uno England in the ICC rankings if they manage to beat Australia in the four-Test series starting on Monday.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s side currently sits in second place on 118 ratings points, seven behind Andrew Strauss’ team.
If India make a sweep of the series, it will move to 122 ratings points and will narrow the gap with England to just three points.
A 3-1 victory for India will put it on 120 ratings points dropping Australia to 101 ratings points, whereas a 2-1 series win will earn Dhoni’s side one ratings point. (PTI)
