India became the top-ranked ODI team in the world after defeating Australia at the Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium by a margin of five wickets. Pakistan was overtaken in the process.
After winning the first ODI, India (116 rating points) overtook Pakistan (115) as the team with the highest rating. Australia is still in third place, but the distance between them has grown as it dropped two points to 111.
India has the opportunity to enter the ODI World Cup as the top side in the competition with a victory. If Australia wins the last two games in the series, Pakistan still has a chance to retake the lead.
For the first ODI victory over Australia since 1996, India achieved it in Mohali.
India and Australia have played six one-day internationals, with only two of those victories coming in Mohali.
