The Indian men's table tennis team on Tuesday achieved its best ever ranking by moving up to the eighth spot in the latest ITTF rankings.
The Indian team comprising World No. 30 G Sathiyan and World No. 36 Sharath Kamal, is tied with ninth placed Austria on 280 points but is ranked ahead of them.
G Sathiyan, who reached the pre-quarters of the ITTF World Cup last week by beating higher-ranked opponents Simon Gauzy of France and Jonathan Groth, was the highest ranked India at world no 30.
Veteran Sharth Kamal jumped two spots to be placed at 36th while Harmeet Desai, who won the ITTF Challenge Indonesia Open championship, leapfrogged 19 places to break into the top-100 and occupy the 85th spot.
China are the expected number one in the team rankings, followed by Japan and Germany.
In the women's rankings, Manika Batra (61) remained the top ranked Indian followed by Ayhika Mukerjee (118) and Madhurika Patkar (124).
