The International Cricket Council (ICC) has apologized after “erroneously” listing India as the number one Test team over Australia.
“The ICC acknowledges, for a short period of time on February 15, 2023 that, due to a technical error, India were erroneously displayed as the No.1 Test team on the ICC website,”
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” wrote ICC on Thursday.

While team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid says that they will not be carried away by the records and will focus on their game in the coming days.
“We don’t look at previous history and go back in time. We cannot get carried away by that. Australia are an experienced team and have good players who know they want to come back,” said Dravid.
The second Test starts on Friday and India will have history on their side at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium - previously Feroz Shah Kotla - where they haven’t lost a Test since 1987.
