England dethroned India in the ICC men’s T20I team rankings after clean sweeping Sri Lanka in the three-match T20I series on Saturday.
England did take the top spot briefly when it defeated India 4-0 in five-match home series, but the current World Champion regained number position during the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe in July.
However, England, which is on a hot streak under captain Harry Brook, overtook India again when it defeated Sri Lanka at Old Trafford to complete a 3-0 win.
Since Brook took over in 2024, England has won 23 out of 26 T20I matches.
Both India and England are on same rating points — 269. But India has 17,201 points in 64 games whereas England has 11,021 points in just 41 matches, helping it leapfrog the sub-continent nation.
