Will India be the No.1 Test team

Cricket

India plays Sri Lanka today in the ongoing Sri Lanka tour of India. India Leads the 3match series 1-0. The third and final match is crutial for both the teams. Sri Lanka Placed 2nd in the ICC test rating will be looking for a victory to square the series and avoid a series defeat. On the other hand India ranked No. 3 will be looking out for a victory too, as this will put them into first position and allow them to achieve something that they have never done before.

India is in the second position in the ODI rankings, with Australia and South Africa taking the top honours in the ODI rankings and Test rankings respectively.

A win in the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai, will be one of the significant achievements. It just does not show that India has won the match or achieved the first position, but also its path of victories and raises after failures.

Captain Cool's take
Dhoni like usual is not worried about the records and is just looking forward for winning the match and hence winning the series. Dhoni feels that, with performances, records will come and thereby the team should not worry about the records and get under pressure.
