India WTC Final Qualification Scenario: Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 Indian cricket team is in a ‘do or die’ situation. Will this series decide whether Team India will play the final of the World Test Championship next year or not? Such equations are being made that if India beats Australia 4-1 in the series, then it will enter the final match without any problem, but what will happen if Team India loses the series? Can Rohit and company play the final of the World Test Championship even after losing the series?
If the Indian team defeats Australia 4-1 or 3-1 in the five-Test series, then it will qualify without any problem. If Team India wins 3-2, then it has to be expected that the Australia vs Sri Lanka series ends in a draw at any time. At the same time, if the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is tied at 2-2, then the Indian team can reach the final only if Sri Lanka beats the Kangaroo team 2-0 in the next Test series.
What will happen if India loses the series?
The surprising equation is that even if Team India loses the series against Australia by 3-2, it can still get entry in the final match. After losing the series 3-2, Rohit and company can play in the final only if Pakistan beats South Africa 2-0 in the next Test series and at least one match between Australia and Sri Lanka is drawn.

Sri Lanka, placed fourth in the table, has almost lost its hopes of reaching the finals after its 2-0 Test series defeat at the hands of South Africa.
