However, India will slip behind third-placed England by a fraction of a point if South Africa win the series by 5-1 or better. The Test win at the Wanderers in Johannesburg will give the visitors confidence that they can upset the Proteas in the 50-over format too. In the upcoming ODI series, the position of teams, actually, will be exactly the opposite of how it was during the Test series. In the Tests, India played as the No.1 team against No.2 South Africa. Their pride as the No.1 Test team was hurt by South Africa and now they would want to take revenge for that.
