In the most recent ICC Rankings update published on May 5, 2025, India has continued to reign supreme in white-ball cricket by retaining the No. 1 ranking in both the ODI and T20I formats. But in a major drop, Rohit Sharma’s Team India have dropped to the fourth place in the Test ICC Rankings, one place behind England.
The ICC rankings annually consider May 2024 matches at full weight (100%) and give 50% weightage to matches that were played in the period from May 2022 to May 2024.
India’s White-Ball Dominance
ODIs: India, who are the current ICC Champions Trophy 2025 champions, had their rating go up from 122 to 124 points, keeping them at No. 1 in the current ICC ODI Rankings.
T20Is: India still leads the T20I ICC Rankings, but Australia has narrowed the gap, remaining nine rating points behind.

Though they have missed out on the World Test Championship 2025 final, England have gone to the second position with 113 points with the help of victories in three out of the four Test series recently.
