India top the Twenty20 and one-day rankings.<\/p>\n \u201cThe ICC acknowledges, for a short period of time on February 15, 2023 that, due to a technical error, India were erroneously displayed as the No. 1 Test team on the ICC website,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe apologise for any inconvenience caused.\u201d <\/p>\n FOLLOW DAY ONE LIVE WITH NEWS CORP CRICKET WRITER BEN HORNE<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n The second Test starts on Friday and India will have history on their side at Delhi\u2019s Arun Jaitley Stadium \u2014 previously Feroz Shah Kotla \u2014 where they haven\u2019t lost a Test since 1987.<\/p>\n But coach Rahul Dravid said they will not get carried away by records and will focus on the coming five days of action.<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t look at previous history and go back in time,\u201d Dravid told reporters. \u201cWe cannot get carried away by that. Australia are an experienced team and have good players who know they want to come back.\u201d India hammered Pat Cummins\u2019 Australia inside three days during the first match to move closer to securing their berth in June\u2019s World Test Championship final at The Oval in London.<\/p>\n They need to win the series 3-1 or 3-0 to make the final.<\/p>\n Returning batsman Shreyas Iyer has joined the squad for the second Test after a back injury made him miss the opener.<\/p>\n Dravid said a completely fit Iyer will walk into the XI.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will assess it and tomorrow as well, when he comes in for a light hit and see how he feels,\u201d said Dravid.<\/p>\n \u201cBut certainly if he is ready to take the load of a five-day Test match, then without doubt, with his performances in the past, he will walk straight into the side.\u201d Skipper Rohit Sharma led from the front in Nagpur with his 120 in India\u2019s 400, followed by key knocks from left-handed all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel.<\/p>\n \u201cAbility to put pressure back on bowlers made the difference and that\u2019s what Rohit did,\u201d Dravid said.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what Axar and Jadeja did very well during that partnership. It is not the only way you can play but in these conditions, being able to put pressure back is important.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally published as India v Australia: Second Test live, ICC explains ranking error, team news<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
