Is India the numero uno in cricket now?

With the historic series win of 2-0 thus winning back the Border-Gavaskar trophy, India now stands no. 2 in the ICC test rankings. But perhaps it is the numero uno now. We will miss Dada as this Nagpur test was his last one. Nonetheless, it is high time we groomed a new team keeping 2011 world Cup in mind and few seniores have to give way respectfully. Time and tide wait for none. It is Dhoni's Midas touch generating a lot of ripples in the Indian cricket nowadays. So many icons are justifiably entitled to enjoy their heydays and his test now begins and most of sure are not naysayers and believe 'Yes, we can!' under Dhoni's able leadership and leading by example. Sachin, Laxman and Dravid still remain out of the Fab Five to guide the youngsters and make the transition smooth.
And what a series this was! Team India won truly as a team with majority coming out in flying colours! Hail Team India!
