The defeat against SL followed by an Aussie win over England resulted in India dropping to third place in the ICC ODI rankings.

 

India were displaced from the top spot within 24 hours of gaining it after their morale-shattering 139-run defeat against the hosts Sri Lanka.

 

After India's defeat, Australia defeated England by seven wickets to take a 4-0 lead in the seven-match series, which pushed India to third.

 

Both India and Australia have 125 points each but the latter are ahead when points were calculated upto decimals, according to the ICC website.
