Team India’s Chances Of Reaching World Test Championship Final: Team India has suffered a double blow after losing the three-match Test series 1-2 against South Africa. India’s dream of winning the Test series in South Africa has been shattered, as well as it has slipped to fifth place in the points table of the ICC Test Championship. At the same time, it is also being said that the Indian team is now out of the race for the World Test Championship final.
India is behind even Pakistan

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.
