World Test Championship 2025: The Indian team is currently in a strong position in the World Test Championship 2023-25. In the current WTC points table, Rohit Sharma and company are at the top with a score of 68.51 percent. In which India has played three series and won all three series. However, the team drew one match against West Indies and lost one match against England on home ground. Which is likely to become a hindrance for India in the future. India still has to play three more series in this. The good thing for Team India is that two of these series are at home. Meanwhile, Team India can strengthen its position by taking advantage of home conditions.
If we look at the last World Test Championship, Australia made it to the finals with a score of 66.67 and India with a score of 58.80 percent. Meanwhile, a score of 65 percent can be considered a safe position and a team with such a score can make it to the finals. India's score is currently 68.51 percent. If India maintains this score till the last series, then Team India will play the final for the third time.
The first challenge will come from Bangladesh
Team India is scheduled to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh at home from September 19, after which India will host New Zealand for a three-match Test series. India has not lost any series at home for the last 12 years. Meanwhile, the team has lost only four Tests. Meanwhile, it is being speculated that India can maintain its dominance in all five Tests and register a win. New Zealand's challenge may be a bit tough, but the Kiwi team has not won any Test series in India so far. Meanwhile, if India manages to win all its five Tests at home, its score will be 79.76 percent and it will not face much trouble on the Australia tour.
What will happen on the Australia tour?
If India loses the Test series against Australia 2-3 after winning all five Tests at home, then it will have 69.29 percent points. Meanwhile, their chances of playing the final will be high. If India loses more than 3 matches, then difficulties may arise. If Australia defeats India 4-1 in the Border Gavaskar Test series, then Team India's score will become 64.04 percent. Meanwhile, they may have to depend on the results of other teams. If India succeeds in winning the series against Australia by scoring a hat-trick on its own soil, then its ticket to the final will be confirmed.
After winning the series 3-2 in Australia, India will have 74.56 percent points. After winning 4-1, it will have 79.82 percent and after winning 5-0, it will have 85.09 percent. Even if the series is drawn 2-2, India will still be in a good position. Despite the series being drawn, India's score will be 71.05 percent which will be enough to get a ticket to the final. If India does not want to overestimate the Australia tour, then it will first have to win all the five Tests on home ground.
