World Test Champions South Africa: The Indian cricket team has moved up to third place in the latest ICC Men’s Test Team Rankings following the annual update, overtaking England in a shift driven by the recalibration of match weightings.

The annual rankings update, which factors in all matches played since May 2025 at full value and reduces the impact of older results to 50 per cent, has reshaped the standings just below the top two.

Australia remains firmly at the top with 131 rating points, extending their dominance with a slight three-point gain. Right behind them, reigning World Test Champions South Africa also held steady at second place, improving to 119 points.
