India will have to win 4 matches to play WTC final This time’s title match seems impossible for Team India, which has played the last 2 finals of the World Test Championship. After losing to New Zealand, the team slipped to second place in the points table with 58.33% points. This is India’s last Test series in WTC 2023-25. Only by winning 4 tests will the team be able to make it to the finals without being dependent on anyone. Even if the team wins the series 3-2, the team will not be able to reach the finals.
Top run scorer of successful team Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is the team’s top scorer in the Test format this year. He has scored 7 half-centuries and 2 centuries in 11 matches. Gill is at number two. He will not play in this match. Virat Kohli is the second top scorer of the team in Australia after Sachin Tendulkar. Although he failed against New Zealand, better will be expected from him in this series. All-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin is the top wicket taker this year.
India will go without Rohit-Gil Regular captain Rohit Sharma and top order batsman Shubman Gill will not play in this match. Rohit is on break and Gill is injured. In Rohit’s absence, Jasprit Bumrah will be the captain of the team and KL Rahul will open with Yashasvi Jaiswal. At the same time, Devdutt Padikkal will play at number-3 in place of Gill.
Hazlewood top wicket taker Batting-allrounder Cameron Green has scored the most runs for Australia this year. Although he is not included in the squad for this series. Usman Khwaja is at number two. He has scored 274 runs in 5 matches. Pacer Josh Hazlewood has taken the most wickets for the team during this period.
