New Delhi :
With 1280 points, India are below arch-rivals Pakistan (1410) and just ahead of Canada (1221)in the top-10 list.
By virtue of the recent Champions Trophy title, world champions Australia (2620) have consolidated their position at the top with a lead of 250 points over European giants Germany (2370).
However, by finishing runners-up at the just-concluded Champions Trophy in Monchengladbach Germany, the ever-improving England (2047) have made the biggest leap in the rankings chart by moving to the fourth position behind third-spot holders Netherlands (2213).
Another European powerhouse, Spain have dropped one rung to the fifth place followed by Korea, New Zealand and Pakistan.
