Team India lost the ‘Test King’s crown’ within a few hours on Tuesday. India defeated Australia in the International Cricket Council (ICC) Test team rankings. However, India’s reign did not last more than two and a half hours. Australia has regained the number one spot in the latest Test team rankings. Australia now has 126 rating points while India has 115 rating points.

Let us tell you that on January 17, at eight o’clock in the Indian time, Australia was in the first place in the Test team rankings. India was at number two. But at half past one in the afternoon, India slipped Australia and occupied the top position. After this, there was a change in the ranking again at 4 pm. Australia again pushed India to second place.
