Mumbai, December 01: Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni today said his team was not giving much thought to the prospect of becoming world’s number one Test side as it would only add to the pressure when they take on Sri Lanka in the third and final match starting here tomorrow.
Leading 1-0 in the series, a win in the match starting tomorrow would catapult India to the top of the ICC list but Dhoni said thinking about the rankings would not let the side focus on the task at hand.
“Winning the series is important but at the end of the day, if we do that, it will reflect in the ratings. We are not thinking about the ratings because we don’t really want to play under pressure,” Dhoni said on the eve of the third and final Test at the Brabourne Stadium here.
