While India could barely manage to cling to No. 2 ranking after ODI series humiliation, now Dhoni has the chance to take India to top of the T20 Ranking just ahead of the T20 World Cup. At present, ranked No. 8 just above Afghanistan does not do justice to the nation that is swayed away by the IPL storm, now for more than 8 years. Dhoni’s boys need to sweep the series to jump to top. The World No. 1 T20I ranked Australian Captain Finch on the other hand just needs series win to take Australia to the top of ICC T20I ranking.
