In the wake of winning the third and final T20I against West Indies, Team India turned into the number one ranked side in the shortest format of the game. The victory assisted India overtaking England at the top of the T20I team rankings, with Rohit Sharma’s side currently matching the top rating of 269. While England and India both have a similar rating (269), India have a total of 10,484 points, 10 more than England’s 10,474. Pakistan (rating of 266), New Zealand (255) and South Africa (253) round out the top five nations, while Australia (249) remains in sixth after their 4-1 series win over Sri Lanka.

With the 17-run victory in the third T20I, India won the three-match 3-0. Prior, the Indian team had defeated the West Indies 3-0 in the ODI series too. India will next take on Sri Lanka in a three-match T20I series, starting Thursday.
