It’s worth noting that India and Australia are the only two teams that are holding the top spots in all formats of the ICC men’s team rankings.
Moreover, Indian players have filled most of the top 5 spots in batting, bowling, and all-rounders rankings. This is a clear marker of the strength and ability of the Indian team.
Unfortunately, as far as team rankings are concerned, the Pakistan team has only been able to secure the third spot in the ICC ODI team rankings.
Shaheen Afridi is the only Pakistani bowler to secure the 2nd spot in the ODI bowling rankings and Babar Azam is the only batsman to sit at the top in the ICC ODI batting rankings.
