Australia and Sri Lanka are currently India's closest challengers in the standings, with Pat Cummins' side in second place at 62.50 percentage, and the island nation narrowly behind at 55.56 percentage following their recent series sweep over New Zealand
New Zealand's victory over India has put the Kiwis back in contention for a second appearance in the World Test Championship final, as they overtake England and South Africa to reclaim fourth position
