The India team dominated the two white-ball formats in 2025, but the same cannot be said about their performance in red-ball cricket. In the red-ball circuit, while South Africa won the World Test Championship WTC final against Australia, the latter had the most victories to their name.
Pat Cummins-led Australia, who recently retained the Ashes against England, find themselves at the top of the ICC rankings for teams in Test cricket. They have a rating of 124. On the other hand, the Proteas are stationed at No. 2, with a rating of 116.
Furthermore, England, India, and New Zealand round up the top five, having ratings of 112, 104, and 98, respectively.
