India attain top position in ICC T20I rankings

On the back of an impressive series win over West Indies, India are the new No.1 side in T20Is

With the 17-run win in the third T20I against West Indies, India completed an emphatic series whitewash over the visitors. It is India’s second T20I series win under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, after they completed a similar whitewash over the BlackCaps earlier last year.

India’s triumph over Windies has now helped them race past England for the top spot in the latest ICC T20I rankings, with a top rating of 269. While England and India both have the same rating across 39 international matches in the rankings period (269), India’s total of 10,484 points is 10 more than England's 10,474.

Pakistan (266), New Zealand (255) and South Africa (253) remain on the top five teams in the shortest format, with the World champions Australia still lingering at sixth place, with a rating of 249, despite a 4-1 crushing of Sri Lanka at home.
