An error on the ICC website led to a meme galore on Twitter after it showed India at the top of Test Rankings on Wednesday afternoon while Australia returned to the numero uno spot in the evening. For a few hours, India were ranked 1 team across formats but it came out as a shocker for many cricket fans when ICC updated the list later in the day as Rohit Sharma and Co. slipped below the Aussies.
According to the earlier update, India (115) were four rating points ahead of Australia (111) in the Test rankings. But the latest rankings are showing Australia at the top with 126 points, while the Asian giants are right behind them with 115 points.
The fans on Twitter had a field day after the big glitch by International Cricket Council.
