Following India’s massive win over England in the first ODI against England at The Oval on Tuesday, the Rohit Sharma-led side has gone ahead of arch-rivals Pakistan in the ICC ODI Team Rankings.
India defeated England by 10 wickets, finishing the 50-over contest in just 18.4 overs as pacer Jasprit Bumrah came up with a career-best haul of 19/6. Thanks to Bumrah’s devastating bowling, the Jos Buttler-led England were dismissed for 110 runs in 25.2 overs, before Rohit Sharma (76 not out) and Shikhar Dhawan (31 not out) completed the easy run-chase in 18.4 overs.
With the massive win, India moved to third in the ICC ODI Team Rankings. Before the game, India were placed fourth with 105 points but the win propelled them to 108 rating points, leaving Pakistan behind at 106.
New Zealand continue to reign supreme at the top of the table with 126 rating points while England are second with 122.
Bumrah’s six wickets saw England crumble to the lowest total against India in ODIs. The rest of the pacers rallied around Bumrah, with Mohammed Shami snaring three wickets and Prasidh Krishna picking up one.
