This is something mind-wobbling for a person who tries to analyze the statistics and graphs with more comfort than written statements.
India slumped to number 3 position?
Since the CoronaVirus is termed is pandemic, as far as the cricket matches are concerned, all of the cricketing activities were frozen and put on waiting till further notice, hence all the statistics were put on freeze till the time last game was played.
Till that time?
All the statistics were put on freeze, the team on whatever position will be placed on the same position they played their game and scored the points. Till that time, India was the Numero-Uno position, then how come India slumped to 3rd position from the prime?
What the rule says?
The rule says that all test matches played from previous to current year from May 2019 to May 2020; 100 percent scores are given upon the performances, whereas the previous two years comprise of 50 percent each per year in weightage put into consideration.
In short, a weighted average method which we generally use at the fuel stations for marking the calculation for the amount of fuel available on the fuel station, as fuel rates vary from time to time, just like ICC test match ratings which are updated time to time, therefore it also means that the team, which is consistent in performing from time to time, is going to earn the majority of points because their deductions from the previous two years are also going to be taken consideration of.
If a particular team in patches performs like winning comprehensively and losing miserly and/or able to manage a draw into consideration, it is required to be continued on an average on regular basis with respect to winning series' ratio, the more series's you win, the more weighted average points you earn.
This is what cost India
Because as per the statistics till April 30th, 2020, India's statistics were on the high but as the clock turned and calendar showed May 1st, the new calendar started and India's current year performances were now marked in previous year tally which accounted for 50% of the weightage, and now in the current scenario where no other team is playing, India is currently marked at 3rd position whereas Australia on Numero-Uno, and it is expected that India is not going to face a test match opponent till December 2020, other teams might have resumed their test match cricket and hence this is surely looking a cemented statement that India is surely going to lose more points if competitive test match cricket starts before December 2020.
