Why can Team India be out of the race for the final?
After this, the Indian team has to play two Tests against Sri Lanka and the only Test against England. Now if any one of these Tests is drawn or Team India loses, then it will be out of the race for the final of the World Test Championship.
On the other hand, if India does a clean sweep in the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, then the winning percentage will be less. At the same time, India will play the only Test against England at his home. In such a situation, it will not be easy for India to defeat England at home.
