There is a good chance that Team India can end up as the No.1-ranked team across all formats – Wasim Jaffer

Former domestic giant Wasim Jaffer feels India has a good chance to end up as the No.1-ranked team across all formats. India is currently the number T20I team in the world and they will take the numero uno position if they win the third ODI against New Zealand.

India has been super consistent in the home conditions and they are always a force to reckon with. Furthermore, if India win the Test series against Australia, they will take the top spot in the ICC Test rankings.

England and Australia are currently at the summit place in the ODI and Test rankings respectively.

Jaffer said on ESPN Cricinfo: “On the basis of the way the Indian team are playing at the moment, there is a good chance that Team India can end up as the No.1-ranked team across all formats pretty soon. In ODIs, I think India will definitely be ranked No.1.”

On the other hand, India has taken an impregnable lead of 2-0 in the series against New Zealand. The Kiwis were bundled out for only 108 runs in the second ODI and Jaffer feels the visitors will be disappointed with their performance.

“New Zealand should look to fight back, they were the No.1 ranked ODI team in the world. They will definitely be disappointed with their performances for sure.”

Jaffer continued: “If you take away Mitchell Bracewell’s contributions, then New Zealand’s bowling and batting both has been poor in both matches. They need to put in a better display otherwise they will lose the series 3-0 and it will not be a good sign for them.”

India had dominated the second ODI against the Blackcaps as they won by eight wickets. The third and final ODI between India and New Zealand will be played at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore on Tuesday.
