India finished March 2019 at the top of the ICC Test Championship, that too with a 64-point lead, despite the 0-2 whitewash in New Zealand. However, second-placed Australia have a series in hand. New Zealand, on the other hand, went past England and Pakistan to secure third place on the points table.
They are followed by Sri Lanka and South Africa, both of whom have won one Test apiece, in that order. West Indies and Bangladesh, still without a win, occupy the last two slots.
