India lost its number one spot on 19 October 2017 in International Cricket Council (ICC) One Day International (ODI) rankings to South Africa. South Africa's 104-run win over Bangladesh in the second ODI in Paarl pushed it to the top spot.
India had claimed the top rank in the ICC rankings as a result of its 4-1 win over Australia.
While India and South Africa have equal 120 points against their name, India is placed second on the basis of decimal points.
However, India has a chance to regain its top spot as it plays against New Zealand in a three-match ODI series scheduled to begin from 22 October 2017 in Mumbai.
