India has been put at No. 3 in the ICC ODI Team Ranking

Indian cricket team has been dropped one spot to third in the ICC ODI team ranking.

The reason of going down is India’s shocking performance and elimination from the tri-nation ODI series in Zimbabwe.

Sri Lankan cricket team has ensured India’s elimination after defeating them by 6 wickets on June 5. Now, Indian cricket team is one point behind South Africa who replaced them at No. 2 position with 119 points in the point table.

Because of their shocking defeat against Sri Lanka, India has been put in the third place with 118 ratings points.

India lost twice to host team, Zimbabwe, and failed to make it to the final following their disappointing performance against Sri Lanka on Saturday.

India started the tour series with second spot in the ICC rankings, but they fall behind South Africa due to the result of the three losses in Zimbabwe. If India could manage a victory over Sri Lanka in Harare then they could hold their previous ranking with 120 points.

Indian cricket team is still No. 1 in the ICC Test team ranking. Cricket fans are worried about thinking that India may lost their dominance in Test ranking to.
