Thanks to their wins away versus Sri Lanka and at home versus the Aussies, India reached the No.1 position in ICC Rankings!
Sri Lanka series
The ODIs were closer as compared to the test series, thanks to the young spinner Akhila Dananjaya. India coasted while chasing - winning by nine, three, six and six wickets - and crushed the Lankans after setting a huge target.Openers Rohit, Rahane or Dhawan continued their good form while Pandya surprised everyone with his exploits with bat and ball. MSD showed he could still win matches for his country while Manish Pandey remained in contention for a spot in the middle order with Jadhav. Bhuvi took his first five wicket haul while Shardul Thakur impressed as a backup quick The spinners and Bumrah were terrific to hand India a sweep of the ODI series!
Australia series
Kuldeep's hat-trick overshadowed everything else in India's continued domination over the Aussies. It was thought the series would be closer than the eventual scoreline of 4-1.
Wins by 26 runs, 5 wickets, 50 runs, 21 runs meant that India reached and held on to the No.1 ranking.
