India are at the top of the WTC points table [X]
The World Test Championship continues to be a platform where the true essence of Test cricket is celebrated, with teams showcasing their skills, determination, and spirit on the field.
World Test Championship is becoming increasingly competitive with each passing edition, especially with the introduction of new formats like Bazball adding more dynamism to the game.
Australia's triumph in the previous edition and their current dominance in the points table of the ongoing cycle under the leadership of Pat Cummins showcase their formidable presence in the Test arena. Retaining the Ashes and securing victories against Pakistan at home demonstrate their strength and consistency.
On the other hand, India is out of the WTC final after humiliating loss in the recently concluded BGT. So for 2024-35 WTC final Australia will face South Africa.
