Some Indian players have broken individual Test rankings.

If India wins the series then tourist team will finish with 113 rating points, four points ahead of Mahela Jayawardena's Sri Lanka team.
And host Australia team win the series then India will sit above Sri Lanka team when ratings points are calculated beyond the decimal point.
It is the great chance for Irfan Pathan to overcome Pakistan pair Mohammad Asif and Danish Kaneria as well as New Zealand’s James Franklin.
