MS Dhoni-led India piped the West Indies to snatch the top spot in the shortest version of the game.


Incidentally, few days back, India regained their numero uno status in Tests ranking as well.


India have 120 rating points, two more than the Caribbean unit in the slan-bang version.


Sri Lanka are at the third spot with 118 rating points like the West Indies.


It once again proved that India are a dangerous unit when it comes to the shortest format as they ruthlessly defeated the Aussies on their home soil to prove that they are one of the title contenders in the forthcoming ICC World T20, which is scheduled to be held at home in March-April.


England (117 rating points) are fourth in the rankings ahead of New Zealand (116). South Africa (115), Pakistan (113) and Australia (110). Afghanistan (80) and Scotland (66) round up the top-10.
