WTC Final: India a step away from World Test Championship summit clash

India dismantled Australia within three days in Delhi to win the second Test by six wickets and boost their chances of reaching the World Test Championship (WTC) final. Having already won the first Test, India have taken a 2-0 lead in the four-match Test series, retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the process. Watch: Rohit, Dravid celebrate India's win; Twitter reacts The Delhi Test win has propelled India’s win-percentage to 64.06 per cent and the Rohit Sharma-led side featuring in the final, at The Oval in June, against Australia now looks almost a certainty. However, there’s still a possibility of a twist in the tale. India are behind leaders Australia in the WTC 2021-23 table with 10 wins, four losses and two draws. India still have two more matches to go against Australia in the cycle. Sri Lanka are in third place with 53.33 per cent followed by South Africa in fourth with 48.72 per cent. Sri Lanka have two Tests left against New Zealand, away from home, and they can still overtake India if results go against Rohit Sharma’s side.

South Africa have two Tests remaining against West Indies but the Proteas can only improve to 55 per cent, which is less than where India can finish on. Australia can also miss out on the final if they fail to avoid a 4-0 series sweep against India or Sri Lanka beat New Zealand 2-0.
