India couldn’t improve its WTC ranking despite having more points is because they have a lower percent percentage of points (PCT) than Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Sri Lanka have 100 PCT with two wins in two games played so far while Pakistan have 66.66 PCT on the back of 2 wins and 1 draw in three Test matches played so far.
