Here’s how fans reacted on Indian ruling the ranking in most positions:

No point, as long as we don't have a global trophy to show there's no point in dominating bilaterals

No Batman from Si is No 1 in Test or ODI Cricket tells you the struggle of Indian batting in both the format.

Real coz of concern but no one seem to pay attention to that.

Rankings mean nothing in Team sports.

People only remember great victories and Trophy wins.

We maybe no.1 but havent won anything since 2013.

Reverse Eg. Argentina isn't No.1 in world football rankings, but ask anyone which is the top team, and there will be only one answer!
