India, who entered the series in the second place with 118 ratings points, have fallen to 111 ratings points while fourth-ranked Australia have boosted their standing in the rankings table after gaining eight ratings points, which puts them alongside their rivals, the ICC said in a statement.

However, Dhoni’s men are still ranked above Clarke’s men by a fraction of a point. When the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point, India has 111.10 rating points while Australia has 110.80 rating points, reported The Hindu.

Nevertheless, Australia will have a chance to move ahead of India when they travel to the West Indies in March to play in a three-Test series, which will start in Barbados on April 7. There, Australia will need to win the series by 1-0 or better to achieve the number three position in the points table.
