    What's the story

    Australia have overtaken India to reclaim their position at the summit of the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings. The dramatic shift happened after India could only manage a 1-1 draw in the two-match Test series against South Africa.

    Meanwhile, Australia have already wrapped up their home Test series against Pakistan.

    The Aussies are also the ICC World Test Championship 2023 winners.

    Here's more.

    India and Australia were tied on 118 rating points before this update and with more points, India were at the summit of the Test Rankings.

    But with a 1-1 draw against SA, India's rating has dropped to 117 which saw Australia take the position atop.

    However, India registered a historic Test victory in Cape Town, becoming the first Asian side to win there.
