The win in Visakhapatnam pushed India's point percentage to 52.77, as against 55.00 of Australia.

The top half of the table remains highly competitive, with five teams separated by a mere 5% in point percentage.

 

India were briefly on top after drawing the two-match Test series against South Africa before being overtaken by Australia following their victory over Pakistan.

India were under the pump coming into the second Test and they delivered an outstanding performance to win by 106 runs.

The third Test of the five-match series begins in Rajkot on February.
