These 2 Tests have now been held in Indore, which the Indian team was successful in winning. Let us tell you why it is important for India to win the third Test?

Team eyes on WTC final entry

The Indian cricket team is eyeing the final of the ICC World Test Championship. If India wins the Indore Test, then Team India will qualify for the final of the World Test Championship. However, even if India is unable to win the remaining two matches, it will reach the finals. For this, Team India will have to play a draw in both the matches. On the other hand, if Australia’s team wins both the matches, then India’s path to reach the final of the World Test Championship will become difficult. In such a situation, the Indian team would like to put an end to all the speculations by winning the Indore Test.

India would like to become number-1 team

If India defeats Australia in the Indore Test, it will reach number one in the World Test Championship points table. Currently India is at number two with 64.6. At the same time, Australia remains in the first place with 66.67 points. Not only this, if the Indian team wins both the remaining matches, then it can also reach number-1 in the ICC Test rankings. India is in second place with 117 rating points. Whereas Australia is at number-1 with 126 points. That’s why Team India will be determined to be the world’s No. 1 Test team when it plays the final of the World Test Championship at the Oval ground in London from June 7.
