Team India may have failed to cross the final hurdle in last month's Cricket World Cup, but it continues to dominate the sport across all formats.
The Indian Cricket Team made history on Wednesday, becoming the first side to hold number one spots in eight different categories of the ICC rankings.

Remarkably, the Indian cricket team holds the numero uno position in all three formats of the sport - Test, ODIs, and T20Is.

Besides this, Shubman Gill is the No.1 batter in ODIs while Suryakumar Yadav occupies the same place in T20Is.

Additionally, Ravichandran Ashwin is the No.1 bowler in Test cricket, and his spinning partner Ravindra Jadeja is the No.1 all-rounder in the long format.
The latest entrant into the No.1 club from India is the young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, who topped the bowling charts in ICC's T20I rankings.
Bishnoi was the leading wicket-taker in India's recently-concluded T20I series against Australia with nine wickets, which the home team won 4-1.

Despite India's cricketers dominating multiple segments in the ICC's rankings, the Men in Blue have not won a world title since 2011.

The Indians-led by Rohit Sharma suffered a heartbreaking loss to Australia in the 2023 Cricket World Cup final after accomplishing a 10-match winning streak in the competition through to the title clash.

They last lifted the Cricket World Cup trophy in 2011 under the captaincy of the legendary MS Dhoni.
