Road to WTC Final: What India must do in BGT

India’s 0-3 home series defeat to New Zealand has dropped them to second place in the World Test Championship standings. Australia’s victory propels them to the top. India must now win four of their remaining five matches in Australia to secure their WTC final spot. In the current WTC cycle, India’s fifth defeat led to a substantial reduction in their points percentage (PCT), declining from 62.82 to 58.33. This drop positioned India behind Australia, who reclaimed the top position with a PCT of 62.50.
