According to the September FIFA rankings India were placed at 149th place but the win over Syria in the Nehru Cup final wasn’t taken into consideration.

But for October that win played a significant role as India scored 26 points to reach their best ever ranking under Bob Houghton. The 2008 AFC Challenge Cup champions have also moved up to 23rd place in the continental rankings.

However India's ranking may drop next month since they are not scheduled to play any international match until December’s SAFF Cup.

Kyrgyzstan who lost 1-2 to India in the Nehru Cup sit just above at 137 while Yemen are 139th.
