India thrashed South Africa by an innings and 58 runs to retain the No.1 position in Test rankings. With the victory, India ended Australia's seven-year run at the top of the Test rankings as they will finish as the numero uno Test team this year (2009-10) after their emphatic victory against South Africa at Eden Gardens here Thursday.
It is the first time India have topped the table at the annual cut-off date (April 1) since the rankings were introduced in June 2003. It has been a steady climb by the Indian team as they were ranked sixth in 2004. They were placed third in 2005 and 2006 and finished second last year.
India are at 124 ratings points while South Africa stayed second with 120 points. Australia are third with 116 points.
India will thus retain the Test championship mace, which it received after defeating Sri Lanka last year in December, and will also pocket a cheque for USD175,000.
