India's big innings and 132-run win over Australia in the first Test catapulted the 'Men in Blue' to the top spot, dislodging the Pat Cummins-led team.
Already the top T20 side, India had reached the number one spot in ODIs last month after beating New Zealand 3-0.
India (115) are four rating points ahead of Australia (111) in the Test rankings and a win in the second Test, starting Friday, will not only consolidate their top spot but also aid their push for entering the second consecutive World Test Championship Final.
India need to win the four-match Border Gavaskar Trophy 3-1 or 3-0 to make the final.
