The way they win sl-pak series,t20 is different from 1day.
Any team can win T20,i will not be surprise if tomorrow zimbabwe wins.
If India wins the tri series in Sri lanka then India will be no.1 team in 1-day.

I missed the point !

Do you mean to say after Champions trophy they will appear in the list ? But I am sure Indians will surely be in the list even if they do not reach semis.

This list is a misnomer it is not about cricket but only money.
