Team India are on the brink of creating history. Rohit Sharma & Co are just two series away from becoming World No 1 across all three formats of the game in ICC Rankings.

Furthermore, India can also become World No 1 side in Tests if they claim the 4-match Test series 1-0 or 3-1.
After the 3rd ODI against SriLanka, India will take on NewZealand in a three-match ODI series. Currently, ranked 4th, Team India have 109 rating points.
