India poised to become No. 1 side in CWC after victory over Australia

Courtesy of their resounding win over Australia in the second ODI at Indore, India will go into the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 with momentum on their side.
India’s win in Indore has ensured that they go into the Cricket World Cup as the No. 1 side in the ICC Men’s ODI Team Rankings. Before the start of the series, The Men in Blue needed at least two wins to go into the marquee event at home at the top. India reached the ODI rankings summit after winning the first ODI against Australia at Mohali. They will now continue to reign supreme across all formats as the number one team, having already occupied the top spot in Tests and T20Is.
India is placed at the top spot with 117 rating points, while Pakistan sits in second with 115 rating points. Australia, on the other hand, slipped further and is third with 110 points.
This is only the second time in men’s cricketing history that a side has achieved the No. 1 ranking across the formats. Prior to this, only South Africa had achieved the feat back in August 2012. India needed to win the second ODI to ensure their reign at the top of the rankings continues, and they did it in some style with a thorough all-round performance.
