India need to win four games and draw one Test to qualify for the final of the ICC World Test Championship
India need to win four games and draw one Test to qualify for the final of the ICC World Test Championship. They will play all the last five games in Australia and will need a huge effort to reach the finals of the tournament.
India is guilty of putting itself in this situation. They lost 3-0 at home against the New Zealand National Cricket Team, which saw their chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship as they were almost certain to reach the final.
Top players in Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed to make an impact with the bat, on the other hand, Ravichandran Ashwin looked in colours. Ravindra Jadeja didn’t look in rhythm in the first two games but found mojo with the ball in the last game where he scored 10 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
It will certainly be a tough pill to swallow for the Indian National Cricket Team. But with what they have done in the past, it won’t be a surprise if they do something special in the next series and reach the finals.
