This is India's best ranking in over two decades. Despite having a population of over 1 billion, they are only ranked at par with Nicaragua, Lithuania and Estonia. It's no wonder their number one sport is cricket.

Brazil retained the top spot for the second consecutive month after knocking Argentina off the top spot last month. Defending world champions Germany remained in third place, followed by Chile and Colombia, helping South America dominate the top five.
