 Going by the present form, it looks highly unlikely but if India can manage to beat England by a 4-1 margin or better in the upcoming one-day series, they can climb to second spot from third in the ICC ranking chart.
World champions India (117) are placed third behind Sri Lanka (119) in the list, headed by Australia (130)
Australia's 3-2 series win has restricted Sri Lanka to earn only one rating point which, in turn, has given India a chance to reclaim the second position.
To achieve the number-two position, India will have to beat England by 4-1 or whitewash the hosts in the five-match series, starting at Chester-le-Street on September 3.
