Australia have dropped to fifth place in the ICC Test rankings following their 2-0 series defeat in India and are placed below England for the first time since the rankings were introduced in 2003.
Australia and India entered the two-Test series on 113 and 127 points and the hosts' wins in Mohali and Bangalore earned them three more points, taking them 11 clear of South Africa, who are in second place.
In contrast, Australia conceded three points and slipped to 110, two behind England. It is their lowest ranking ever. However, they will have the opportunity to reclaim fourth place when England travel to Australia for the Ashes in November.
