Is India out of Test Championship?

WTC Final: Australia win World Test Championship after dramatic Indian collapse : Australia won the World Test Championship after a crushing win over India in the final at The Oval on Sunday. India, who were 164 for 3, suffered a dramatic collapse and lost 7 wickets in the morning session to crash to a 209-run defeat.

This was India’s second consecutive defeat in a WTC final; they had lost to New Zealand in the title clash of the inaugural edition in 2021. This was India’s fourth defeat in the ICC finals after their Champions Trophy victory in England in 2013. India lost the final of the T20 World Cup to Sri Lanka in 2014, then lost the Champions Trophy final to Pakistan in 2017 before a defeat to New Zealand in the WTC final in 2021.

This has now extended India’s wait for an ICC title. They failed to go past the group stages in the 2021 T20 World Cup and lost the semifinal of the T20 World Cup to England in 2022. Before the start of the WTC final at The Oval, coach Rahul Dravid had said India were under no pressure to end their ICC title jinx and the team was roundly criticised for their body language and lack of effort in the first two days of the title clash against Australia.

• Rohit Sharma’s decisions to bowl first and leave out R Ashwin, the world’s No.1 Test bowler, were also questioned, There was a general feeling the Indian team management got carried away by the overcast conditions at toss.
• Australia lost an early wicket but they soon recovered as Travis Head and Steve Smith hit hundreds to put Australia in the driver’s seat.

In response, the Indian top-order failed miserably and they could only reach 296 thanks to half-centuries from comeback man Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur besides useful runs from Ravindra Jadeja. Questions have to be asked of Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli for failing to deliver in a big match yet again.

1. Rohit Sharma has been especially poor in ICC knockout games and this was the third ICC final where Virat Kohli failed to make any impact.
2. There was a ray of hope for India at the end of the fourth day after Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane had steered the team to 164 for 3.
3. They needed 280 to win on Sunday and with batting conditions getting better, a historic chase was on the card.

However, Australia picked four wickets before lunch on Day 5 and it was all over for India. Virat Kohli fell to Scott Boland for 49 when he drove a full and wide delivery and edged it to Steve Smith at second slip. Two balls later, Boland dismissed Ravindra Jadeja for a duck and the floodgates were open.

1. Ajinkya Rahane made a heroic return to the Test side with a gutsy 89 in the first innings.
2. He followed that up with 46 in the second and an 85-run stand with Virat Kohli but at the end, he became another one of India’s batters to play a poor shot; Rahane tried to drive a widish delivery from Mitchell Starc and all he managed to do was edge it to Alex Carey behind the stumps.

Shardul Thakur, who had with Rahane given India a chance to fight in the first innings, was outfoxed by Nathan Lyon for a duck in the second as Australia closed in on a huge win. India offered no fight whatsoever with as Umesh Yadav and KS Bharat departed soon after; the morning session was extended after India lost their ninth wicket with Australia hoping to wrap up victory.

The WTC remains the only major men’s cricket trophy Australia have yet to win. India has dropped off-spinner Ashwin from the playing eleven as overcast conditions and a green-tinged pitch is set to assist the pacers. India opted for an attack of four seamers and spin-bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

• Australia, preferred Scott Boland to Michael Neser in their pace attack.
• Scott Boland replaced injured fast bowler Josh Hazlewood in the Australia squad.
• It (pitch) looks like it’s got a little bit of grass.
• I’m sure he’ll be a weapon,” Australia skipper Pat Cummins said of Boland’s inclusion.

Did India lose the ICC WTC from Australia?

India, Australia and star opener sanctioned by ICC after WTC Final Australia and India have been hit with big fines for slow over rates during the ICC World Test Championship Final at The Oval. India slipped to defeat on day five of the WTC Final, losing by 209 runs to an inspired Australia in south London.

And it was confirmed shortly after the conclusion of the match on Sunday’s final day that India will lose all of their match fees for their slow over rate, with Australia also docked 80 percent of their match fees. India were ruled to be five overs short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration, while Australia were found to be four overs short.

In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, players are fined 20 percent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time.

India’s Shubman Gill will also face a further sanction for appearing to criticise the decision to give him out on the fourth day of the Test, breaching article 2.7 which relates to public criticism or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in an international match.

The young opener was fined a further 15 percent of his match fee, meaning he will have to pay money back as part of his punishment given he has effectively incurred 115 percent of match fees in fines. Television umpire Richard Kettleborough adjudged that a catch by Cameron Green to remove Gill had been taken cleanly.

Gill took to social media later in the day to make a post that appeared to question the decision.

Why is WTC final in England?

Rich Heritage – One of the key factors contributing to England being the preferred host for the WTC final is the country’s rich cricketing heritage and the historical significance of Test cricket within its borders. England is widely regarded as the birthplace of cricket and has a deep-rooted tradition in the sport.

How many days are there in WTC final?

The summit clash will take place as a five-day Test match between June 7 and June 11. India and Australia, who are presently ranked first and second in the ICC Test Teams Rankings, respectively, will face off in the match.

What if Australia lose 4 0 to India?

The India-Australia Test series will decide the two contenders for the 2021-23 World Test Championship Final, Currently, Australia are sitting at the top of the points table. They have all but secured their place in the final, but it isn’t a given yet.

1. The most likely scenario is an India-Australia WTC Final, but Sri Lanka and South Africa can throw a spanner in that probability.
2. There are three series left — IndiaAustralia (4 matches), New ZealandSri Lanka (2 matches) and West Indies-South Africa (2 matches) — in the ongoing WTC cycle.
3. TOI takes a look at the possible scenarios.

ARE AUSTRALIA THROUGH? Not yet. But they have 75.56% points, nearly 17 percentage points more than second-placed India. The only scenario in which Australia miss out on playing the final is if they lose all their four Tests in India and Sri Lanka manage to win both their Tests in New Zealand. HOW ARE INDIA PLACED? If India beat Australia 4-0, 3-0 or 3-1, they are through to the WTC Final. If the series ends 2-2 and Sri Lanka beat New Zealand 2-0, then India will be out of the race for the Final. South Africa can also upset India’s applecart if they win 2-0 against West Indies at home, and India draw 1-1 against the Aussies in the upcoming series.

SRI LANKA HAVE OUTSIDE CHANCE Sri Lanka need to win their remaining two away matches against New Zealand and then hope that either India beat Australia 4-0 or India lose the series or the series ends in a draw. If Sri Lanka draw the NZ series 1-1, India have to lose to Australia 1-3 or 0-1 and also hope South Africa win just one Test against the West Indies.

WHAT ABOUT SOUTH AFRICA? They will need to win both their Tests against West Indies and then hope Sri Lanka lose both Tests in New Zealand or win just one. The Proteas will also need India to get less than 20 points from the Australia series, which means a 1-1 draw or a series loss for India.

How can India make it to WTC Final?

What happens to India? – India’s PCT is 60.29 after earning 123 points in 17 Tests (10 wins and 2 draws) so far. India have lost a few points during the course of this cycle due to slow over rate. If India win the last Test, their PCT will go up to 62.5 with 135 points from a maximum of 216 on offer (18 Tests).

1. They will then retain their second position and will qualify for final.
2. However, in case of a defeat, India’s PCT will drop to 56.94 and then they will have to depend on the result of Sri Lanka’s away-series against New Zealand.
3. In case of a draw, India’s PCT will drop to 58.79 and even then they will have to wait for the result of the Sri Lanka-New Zealand series.

Ditto in case of a tie where India’s PCT will be 59.72.
