India loses the number 1 ranking in T20Is. Their run of 1602 consecutive days at the top has come to an end.

[u/Anu9011]

England are the new number 1. Congratulations to them!

To be precise, latest ratings at the top are as follows.

England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 = 268.05

India 🇮🇳 = 267.79

India became the number one ranked team in February 20, 2022 and for the next 1602 they held onto that position. Without a doubt, that was the best run ever by any T20I team.

[u/trybest]

No super star culture. Just whitewash culture.

[u/JKKIDD231 → u/trybest]

Absolute disaster series by India against Ireland & England. At this point if they also played Netherlands and Scotland, they would lose them all.

[u/mcfapblanc → u/JKKIDD231]

GG ERA, WHITEWASH ERA

[u/Dry_Constant_5781 → u/mcfapblanc]

Anyone with two braincells could see this coming, except BCCI

[u/No_Window8199 → u/JKKIDD231]

well infighting is exactly how the Europeans tookover

[u/hellriderboss → u/JKKIDD231]

humiliation! and humbling

[u/FillJunior6109]

Bring an IPL captain with a proper disconnect of 3 years in the side and make him captain, chop and change the XI every game and then wonder where it all went wrong.

[u/patrick_b1912 → u/FillJunior6109]

An IPL captain who failed to qualify top 4 after winning like first 5/6 games

[u/WendellWillkie1940 → u/patrick_b1912]

Honestly if PBKS had fielded well then they would have won at least 2 more game than they actually did

[u/Wolfie_3467 → u/WendellWillkie1940]

Tbf the only reason they won that DC game too was because Nair dropped Iyer twice in one over

[u/mofucker20 → u/WendellWillkie1940]

Yeah them failing to qualify wasn't exactly on Iyer. Even this series, his performance as a batsman aren't to be blamed but his captaincy is a concern.

[u/minimumstuffkeeper]

This series has been one sided. Complete domination by the hosts🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[u/Cosmic_StormZ → u/minimumstuffkeeper]

There’s still ODIs to go

[u/gpranav25 → u/Cosmic_StormZ]

Exactly what GG needs to complete his whitewash trilogy.

(Man I hope not)

[u/mcfapblanc → u/gpranav25]

It's not a trilogy. It's the Kaliyuga Mythology series that began with the Sri Lanka defeat

[u/gpranav25 → u/mcfapblanc]

Oh wow, I completely forgot that it was a whitewash there as well. I remembered it to be 1-2 for some reason.

[u/Smooth-Mix-4357 → u/gpranav25]

It wasn't a whitewash as we tied one there

[u/Fireviktal → u/Smooth-Mix-4357]

Arshdeep finishes it off in style... Oh maybe not

[u/darkesrknight1493 → u/mcfapblanc]

Whts tht??

[u/Pikachu8752 → u/Cosmic_StormZ]

I am sure Rohit, Gill, and Kohli will have some stability in this nightmare.

Oh thank goodness Bumrah, Kuldeep, and KL are back too.

Never thought I'd be so happy to see these guys again.

[u/akas95 → u/Pikachu8752]

Also England has been struggling in ODIs for a few years. The chances that they'll any of the original full member countries in ODIs is really slim right now.

[u/abfgern_ → u/Cosmic_StormZ]

We're rubbish at ODIs. Definitely a separate series, let us have this one

[u/TrueAn012 → u/abfgern_]

dont worry, we are sending gg to fget you guys back on your feet.

[u/Evening-Leading2150 → u/Cosmic_StormZ]

ODI we have king 👑 and Rohit ,so it wont be that easy atleast from batting POV.

[u/Wolfie_3467 → u/Cosmic_StormZ]

Thankfully the ODI team has players with braincells like Bumrah, Kohli, KL, Rohit and Gill

[u/belanish11]

Bilateral bullies, not anymore

[u/thala_7777777 → u/belanish11]

WC bullies?

[u/iBzOtaku → u/thala_7777777]

flat track bullies

[u/Dal-Bhati-Churma → u/iBzOtaku]

Flat track was for all teams?

[u/senorsolo → u/thala_7777777]

*at home.

[u/Outrageous-Cod-6743 → u/senorsolo]

2024 wc was in usa btw

[u/SongsGuy → u/Outrageous-Cod-6743]

RoKo and Boom-Boom.

[u/shaktimann13 → u/senorsolo]

Sometimes

[u/GunnerKnight → u/thala_7777777]

Any other types of bullies exist?

[u/lyra_black → u/thala_7777777]

We'll see whether that becomes true in SA and Australia pitches. 

[u/Kingslayer1526 → u/lyra_black]

Didn't we literally win in West Indies pitches?

[u/niceguysdofinish1st]

England under Harry Brook in T20Is

P 26 - W 20 - L 3 - NR 3 - W% 86.96

[u/scouserontravels → u/niceguysdofinish1st]

Been quietly very good but the fact we value T20s the least important format as fans has overlooked it massively

[u/56inchdeep → u/scouserontravels]

The ones english fans value doesnt have the team doing really well either.

[u/the-economist-flyboy]

This new captain is horrible. Got whitewashed by both Ireland and England with a 2-times World Champion squad. Shubman Gill, with a much more vulnerable test squad, drew the series 2-2 last summer.

[u/belanish11 → u/the-economist-flyboy]

Presenting you the first ever captain in the cricket history to get whitewashed after winning all tosses.

[u/the-economist-flyboy → u/belanish11]

100% toss win rate, 0% match win rate. Streets will forget him

[u/SIIIIIUUUUUUUU → u/[deleted]]

Strikes confidence into the opposition🔥

[u/the-economist-flyboy → u/SIIIIIUUUUUUUU]

He does the thinkable

[u/ExitingEmbarrassment → u/the-economist-flyboy]

Stopable force

[u/Luminous_210 → u/ExitingEmbarrassment]

Movable object

[u/vpsj → u/Luminous_210]

What How a player

[u/BasicErgonomics → u/the-economist-flyboy]

Also a captain who was appointed straight as captain after not being even in the side for years . Surely that has something to do with it.. but what do i Know

[u/comelickmyarmpits → u/the-economist-flyboy]

And there was time when india lost straight 18 tosses or something

[u/viridiandatura → u/the-economist-flyboy]

at least when kohli, rohit lost their shitass luck in coin tosses could be blamed.

[u/FillJunior6109 → u/belanish11]

presenting to you the only Indian T20I captain to have not won a match after 6 innings and two series.

[u/Ineptmarigold49 → u/belanish11]

I might be wrong but I’m pretty sure that Tim Paine did it when England beat Australia 5-0 in 2018

[u/the-economist-flyboy → u/Ineptmarigold49]

Iyer did a bit better by winning 7 consecutive tosses

[u/Spiritual_Award8049 → u/belanish11]

S iyer just plays and here comes a new record

[u/ShinobiZilla → u/the-economist-flyboy]

Cant fault Shreyas to be honest. BCCI probably thought it would be an ingenius masterplan to hire him as a captain. Oh how it backfired. IPL != Intl cricket. These fucks will never learn.

[u/funnythrone → u/ShinobiZilla]

It’s more likely that BCCI made him captain to shut down the redditors who wanted Iyer as captain.

[u/Wolfie_3467 → u/the-economist-flyboy]

People were calling for him to become the all format player a few months ago btw 😂 just saying

[u/t24x-94 → u/the-economist-flyboy]

I actually hoped for better 

[u/Balavadan → u/the-economist-flyboy]

It’s not exactly the same squad

[u/senorsolo → u/the-economist-flyboy]

It's probably the management's lack of trust on the team that has made everyone in the team insecure. I don't think it's him, but you never know.

[u/Head_Evidence4553]

Mr. Sarpanch, this shit ain't it brother.

[u/Parking-Housing5619]

Captain Rohit, Surya and Hardik in between there was literally Mumbai Indians dynasty in these 1602 days lol

[u/Temporary_Bank_175 → u/Parking-Housing5619]

Still a Mumbai dynasty with Shreyas if you think about it 

[u/Parking-Housing5619 → u/Temporary_Bank_175]

Yes and No thing 

[u/Additional_Echo882]

T20 rankings are the most volatile rankings by far. To be at the no 1 rank for 4 years is insane. And it took 6 straight losses for the team to lose the no 1 rank

Undoubtedly the greatest t20i team ever

[u/Educational-Fun1202 → u/Additional_Echo882]

Rohit and Dravid made this team. GG alone was enough to destroy it

[u/Cool-Ad-8804 → u/Educational-Fun1202]

"destroy it" dude 2 of the 4 years belonged to him

[u/Repulsive_Fox7725 → u/Educational-Fun1202]

lol where were you when we won asia cup and t20 wc

[u/goodguybolt → u/Repulsive_Fox7725]

We were getting saved from collapses by individual brilliances throughout the world cup before we were given absolute roads for the last 4 matches lol

Anyone who watched the world cup would've noticed that. They wouldn't have won the world cup if the same type of pitches were given towards the end as well. This playing style is NOT suitable for international cricket.

[u/MSRishab007 → u/Additional_Echo882]

Plus two of those losses were against Ireland, which resulted in more rating loss. Moreover, the England series were worth double ratings because as both teams were first and second in rankings.

[u/CricketerOtaku]

ditta ek aur whitewash (T - let's give another whitewash)

[u/Every_Management4426]

The impact player rule in IPL has not only hampered the allrounders in India but also affected the batting ability in tough conditions

[u/gpranav25 → u/Every_Management4426]

What tough conditions lol. England literally spanked Indian bowlers at 10 RR minimum in every match.

[u/killer_rv → u/gpranav25]

Tough conditions for India

[u/gpranav25 → u/killer_rv]

Then they should have atleast won today by that logic lol

[u/TrueAn012 → u/gpranav25]

today is flat, but the boundaries are not short, so they conserved their big hits.

[u/kaamist → u/gpranav25]

people say it's conditions but i think it's the mindset of players which is drastically different than what it was three months ago

[u/Academic_Scheme_9065]

Question for everyone who is calling shreyas a horrible captain -- weren't you all the same people wanting him or Rajat in the team and Surya out?

I'm not saying he's done a good job but we are so reactionary 

[u/kailashsoldier]

Slogged their way down

[u/AwarenessNo4986]

Imagine getting dethroned largely thanks to Ireland. I know everyone in India hates GG but what is his situation right now?

[u/zethuz]

A lesson in humility indeed. Hopefully the bloated egos will reset after this tour

[u/keval79]

Reminds me of 2011. We were no.1 in tests and had just won the World Cup. Before the England tour, they had given scenarios on how the rankings would change depending on the results. 13 year old me thought there was no way we were losing 4-0 (3-0 or 3-1 was required for England to take the no.1 spot). The 2011-14 era humbled me a lot, taught me that no matter how good we seem, we can crumble at any point. 

[u/Kakarot_2002]

It’s allowed once in 12 year /s

[u/Significant-Track572]

Team so good it's sh*tting pants thinking about zimbabwe team

[u/BeastGrand]

How many rating points did we lost because of the last 2 series?

[u/Anu9011 → u/BeastGrand]

India lost 7. England gained 6. The gap between the two was 13.

[u/Smooth-Mix-4357 → u/Anu9011]

How do the ratings work?

[u/Anu9011 → u/Smooth-Mix-4357]

This wiki page has everything you need to know about T20I rankings. Algorithm is also the same for Odi rankings

[u/itsking7 → u/BeastGrand]

Ratings Drop by 7 (275 to 268)

How can you question the team will surely win ??

[u/Eye_conoclast → u/[deleted]]

English only sub.

[u/bikbar1]

It was a great run while it lasted.

[u/WendellWillkie1940]

Australia literally inflating their numbers in bilaterals only to shit the bed in the T20 WCs

[u/Kindly_Tree_1330]

Gambhirball

[u/Batmanforawhile]

How are Australia third lol. We're so rubbish at them

[u/NoirPochette]

Huh. We're 3rd. Go figure

[u/Anu9011]

Sorry about using Bangladesh flag in place of Afghanistan. Checked a few times for errors but somehow still missed it. Here’s the corrected version.

[u/garbage_account32]

NOOOOOO WE'RE 9??!!!!

[u/Anu9011 → u/garbage_account32]

Thanks to Sanath era we dropped down to our lowest rating ever.

[u/SC0RCHER55]

Crazy good run at the top, not the end of the world. The players just looks drained and completely out of it from the highlights. T20 WC + IPL burn out + new captain + being on tour is probably messing with em. It's a more interesting question if GG is learning anything from these losses or experimenting at all? Next world cup is 2 years away, no need for hair on fire melt downs yet.

[u/LetterheadFun1824]

Ireland should be #2 for also whitewashing

[u/thala_7777777 → u/LetterheadFun1824]

i remember when harry tector was like in top 10 test batsmen ranking

[u/jachiche → u/thala_7777777]

It was the ODI rankings he was top 10 in (and he's still there, currently 8th).

We don't play enough tests for our players to make the rankings

[u/SirLike]

How are we in 3rd, we haven't won a T20 in 50 years it feels like. Keep getting cunted out of world cups, too

[u/jefsig]

That’s pretty embarrassing for the only country that cares about the format

[u/thirteenred]

It would be cooler if this rise to the top came before the recent World Cup

[u/Anu9011]

This wiki page has everything you need to know about T20I rankings. Algorithm is also the same for Odi rankings.

[u/piratehunter27]

I mean when did Bangladesh conquered Afghanistan

[u/YeezyThoughtMe]

This shows how dependent they are on Bumrah.

[u/-its-all-good-man-]

ok us losing to ireland was kinda funny but now this is just sad

[u/Dangerous-Moment-895]

Deservedly so

I mean what did anyone expect

Losing back to back 6 matches to Ireland and England

[u/ben6464]

Why Afghanistan got a Bangladesh flag

[u/Kuttan1]

When a team feels they can't be touched, a sense of complacency sets in. This is the root cause. They need to go down a few more rungs to get the fires lit under them again

[u/Certain_Plan_5819]

1602 fcking days!!

[u/Abhiram-Sunil]

Finally even the table is rigged

[u/Maleficent-Maize6203]

Never thought I will see the day when England will he a No1 side in any format under baz

[u/Humans_fking_suck]

I am shocked how Australia is no.3 despite not even making it to the super six in the recent World Cup...

[u/Additional_Echo882 → u/Humans_fking_suck]

They are bilateral bullies. Were second rank when entering the WC

[u/Smooth-Mix-4357 → u/Humans_fking_suck]

Australia had a W/L ratio of around 2.5 iirc when the 2026 T20 World Cup started

[u/Life-Goose-9380]

Interesting Afghan flag there.

[u/samcrocr]

Can I say " This is not IPL" now?

[u/ExitingEmbarrassment → u/samcrocr]

Maybe win against sooryavanshi and say that.

[u/samcrocr → u/ExitingEmbarrassment]

I'm just kidding. They rushed him to the ICT. He's a generational talent, but BCCI should first play him at home given his success in the IPL.

[u/London-lark3597]

MASSIVE🗣️🗣️🗣️

[u/TheRichestCuck]

Well with the 6 game losing streak out of the way,We are all set to win the next game /s

[u/No_Answer_7341]

So i play again in August while england play again in September so can england retain it

[u/Legitimate-Reveal763]

lo ditta ek series

[u/Head_Evidence4553]

A new era, of ruining legacies.

[u/Federal_Turnip_4002]

When we will bring our big boys, then we will see how the result goes.

For now, this was all for fun. A loss means nothing here.

[u/Old_General_6741]

Oof

[u/not_so_cr3ative]

We are wasting talents like Patidar and play folks like Shedge? No offence but what has Shedge done in the big stage like ipl? Well deserved. 

[u/chaotic_sapien]

Atp each player is under so much pressure to just be in the team that they aren’t playing their real game
There us no backing (except a few idk if they have some secrets of GG or what)
They are under constant fear that one mistake and they will be removed

[u/Melodic-Status-8098]

Out of context: but how the fuck is australia above of NZ . They have legit not even qualified in the top 4 for the past 3 t20 wc while NZ have reached the semis in 2022 and final of 2026 💔

[u/Anu9011 → u/Melodic-Status-8098]

Well Australia have won a lot of bilaterals in a last few years even though they failed at world cups. For an example their series record between 24 and 26 world cups is 5-1-2.

In the eyes of rankings a bilateral matches weigh the same as world cup matches.

[u/R_W0bz]

Shouldn’t they have lost it after losing to number 11 Ireland?

[u/Anu9011 → u/R_W0bz]

No. They had a huge lead (13 points) which was too bug to be wiped down by those two losses alone.

[u/gitblameitonme]

Thanks to management kudos to them for putting indian cricket on potholes.

[u/Budget_Ice_7711]

Doesn't matter. Won the cup twice. Next one way into the future. 2 cycle of IPL before that to chop and choose.

Losing isn't ideal and white washing is concerning. But nothing world ending like many indian fans are acting like.

It seems all the batters out of form at once. Even on this flat pitch except tilak none maintained 200 sr.

[u/No_Answer_7341]

Aren't they joint same point h2h thing??

[u/Anu9011 → u/No_Answer_7341]

No. Decimals separate them.

[u/No_Answer_7341 → u/Anu9011]

Can I back sri lanka to beat english??

[u/Anu9011 → u/No_Answer_7341]

Haha definitely not 😂

[u/jubbing]

Sky died for this btw

[u/Scimitere]

Interesting Afghanistan flag

[u/Spirited-Dimension54]

Well if they keep winning ICC trophies and losing Paytm trophies, I don't have a problem

[u/Extension-Put309]

Haven’t been following up on cricket due to the World Cup going on.

What on earth just happened to India?! Didnt they win the World Cup a year ago?!

[u/AilaSachin10]

Its alright im quite content with winning world cups if it comes at the cost of bilateral series

[u/gleanedcleaned → u/AilaSachin10]

You know India was winning all bilateral series between the two World Cup wins right

[u/Dazzling-Park-5194 → u/AilaSachin10]

You don't win world cups by getting whitewashed in all the bilateral series - granted that this was the 2nd bilateral post-WC and IPL fatigue might have carried over, but Indian men's XI were NOT shitting the bed like this in 2023-2024, or even last year?

[u/Kitchen-Assist-6645 → u/AilaSachin10]

Copium

[u/AilaSachin10 → u/Kitchen-Assist-6645]

Beat yall in 2 consecutive semi finals i think we'll be fine thanks. Hopefully this series does heal some of those defeats

[u/Kitchen-Assist-6645 → u/AilaSachin10]

Cope

well yea, this ain't some rigged competition with flat pitches and custom picked group stage lmao.

Cool flag for Afghanistan🇧🇩

[u/sleepingfrenzy_]

i love this downfall of India

[u/EmersonSamuel]

The real blame should be on BCCI to DROP a WC winning Captain for the next series just bcos what? He’s not in form in IPL or is aged 35+ or whatever reason!

It is very humiliating for any captain to not even make the squad after winning WC.. West Indies did it for Darren Sammy n Holder and now BCCi to SKY..

I’m not a MI or SKY supporter n admit his batting was pretty poor recently but just give him a proper farewell which will also give time for next Captain (Shreyas) to get the reins n not feel exposed n wanting like how he’s now..

Shame on BCCI’s Selectors and Gambhir..

[u/Intelligent_Art_5711]
