Second finalists of the Trans-Tasman tie at the World Cup Australia are in second place with 119 points while England and Pakistan are going neck-to-neck at 104 and 103 points respectively.

After India lost the series 2-0 against Australia in the four match series, Indian batsman failed to make it to the Top-10 Test rankings even though test skipper Virat Kohli slammed four centuries in the series.

Similar was the plight of Indian bowlers, who failed to break in the Top-10. Barring Ravichandran Ashwin who at No. 3 rank is the only Indian on the all-rounder's list after Shakib Al Hasan and Vernon Philander.
