After winning the T20 series, India also got a flying start in the ODI series. In the first ODI, Rohit Sharma’s team just blew England away. With the hosts bowled out for 110, India went down to chase that target. They won without losing any wicket.
And with that, Indian team got the good news. India have surpassed Pakistan in the ICC ODI rankings. India had 105 rating points before losing to England. But after losing to England by 10 wickets, their rating points rose to 108.
In that respect, India dropped Pakistan from number three to four, and India rose from four to three. Pakistan’s current rating in the ICC ODI rankings is 106 points. New Zealand is at the top with 127 rating points. England is in the second position with 122 rating points.
Meanwhile, a month ago, Pakistan defeated West Indies and dropped India to three. But Babar Azam’s team could not last long in the fight to stay ahead against their eternal rivals. The Rohits have taken their place within less than a month.
