World Test Championship Final: It has become very important for Team India to win the Border Gavaskar Trophy on the Australia tour. If Team India has to make it to the final of the World Test Championship to be held next year, then it will have to win this series 4-0. If Team India makes it to the final (WTC Final), then this will be India’s third consecutive final. There may be a surprise entry of many players in Team India for the final to be held at Lord’s, while many people may also be discharged from the team. Let’s take a look at India’s 15-member team for the title battle….
How will India be able to play in the WTC Final?
If the Indian team has to make it directly to the World Test Championship final (WTC Final), then it will have to defeat Australia 4-0 in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. After losing the series to New Zealand in its own home, the difficulties for Team India to play the final have increased. Team India lost 3-0 in that series. If the Indian team had won even one match in that series, the equations could have been different. But now Team India will have to depend on other countries.

If Team India’s place in the World Test Championship Final (WTC Final) is confirmed, then the command of Team India will be in the hands of Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma has captained Team India for a long time and he has been considered an expert captain. Under his captaincy, he recently led Team India to victory in the T20 World Cup. So in such a situation, the management will not change the captain of Team India before the World Test Championship Final (WTC Final).
