WTC How will Team India reach the World Test Championship final, these equations are being created
World Test Championships Final: It seemed almost certain that the Indian cricket team will once again reach the final of the World Test Championship, but now its chances seem to be fading. Although there are still many matches left and Team India is at number one in the points table, but still the difficulties seem to be increasing. Let us try to understand how the Indian team will be able to reach the WTC final this time under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Are some equations being formed?
The defeat in two back to back matches against New Zealand spoiled the game.
Team India was in a very strong position before the start of the three-match Test series against New Zealand. At that time it was believed that India would win all three matches of this series. After this, when the India vs Australia series starts, the work will be done even if the Indian team wins only one match out of five in that series. But now the matter is stuck. After losing the first two matches of the New Zealand series, while on one hand this series has been lost, on the other hand the final of the World Test Championship is also stuck.
After winning the last match against New Zealand, they will have to win the series against Australia also.
Now, if we talk about the equations directly, then the Indian team will have to win the last remaining match against New Zealand. After this, when there will be a series with Australia, India will have to win three out of five matches. That means the series against Australia will have to be won. If this happens then Team India’s PCT will become 64.04 percent. But if even one test is drawn then the PCT of the Indian team will reduce and after that the matter may get stuck. Although Team India can play the final of the World Test Championship even by winning two matches in Australia, but in such a situation it will have to depend on other teams also. Which will not be good for India at all.
Apart from India and Australia, these teams are also contenders for the final
As of now, apart from India and Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and South Africa are also considered to be strong contenders to play the final of the World Test Championship. Whichever team continues to win its consecutive matches from here, will get a chance to play the final. India is the only team which has been playing finals continuously for the last two years, but even after this the team has not been able to become champion even once. First, the Indian team was defeated by New Zealand and after this, in the second final, Australia defeated them and did not let their dream of winning the title come true. This time we are also in danger of playing the finals, it remains to be seen how the team performs in the upcoming matches.
