India will move into the second spot in International Cricket Council's Test rankings following the crushing 2-0 series win against Sri Lanka [Images].

The series win will help India take its tally to 115, two more than England's [Images].

Before the three-Test series with Sri Lanka started, India was third in the rankings, a point behind second-placed England, which had 113.

England had an opportunity to gain ground on India, but they fared poorly in its three-Test series against Pakistan and failed to increase their tally.

Sri Lanka will shed five points, but will retain their seventh position on the table, way ahead of West Indies [Images] who have 73 points.

Australia [Images] lead the rankings with 128 points.
