After a crushing 6-1 victory over Sri Lanka and a stunning 2-2 draw against South Africa (both heavy favorites) India’s squad has risen to the #4 rank in the international ODI rankings. Their official rating is 109, the same as England, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand, but when calculated to the 3rd decimal place, India comes out ahead. Australia is still #1, South Africa still #2, and Pakistan is 3rd (but not for much longer! Look out, Pakistan).

In individual rankings, India skipper Rahul Dravid is the only batsman on the team in the top 10, with a rank of 7. Irfan Pathan clocks in at #8 on the bowling side of the international rankings.

Pakistan is so dead. Just let us at ‘em. Be afraid, Pakistan. Be very afraid.
