India head coach Ravi Shastri hailed the Indian team for retaining the top position of the ICC Test Rankings for the fifth consecutive year.
“This team has shown steely resolve & unwavering focus to be crowned No. 1. It is something the boys have earned fair & square. Rules changed midway but #TeamIndia overcame every hurdle along the way. My boys played tough cricket in tough times. Super proud of this bindass bunch,” tweeted Shastri.
India has been on the Number side since 2017 and Virat and company have dominated the spot like no one else. Last year Australia took the charge but later Virat and his men took the throne back.
India is all set to play the finals of the first Test Championship against New Zeland in Southampton starting June 18.
