Recently the defeat in adelaide is going to hurt the indian cricket team in many ways. This defeat has not only made the path to winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy difficult, but the path to the final of the World Test championship (WTC Final) has also become difficult. Team india has now slipped to third place in the latest points table of the World Test Championship.

Meanwhile south africa is at the second place after the Kangaroo team. australia has 60.71 percent points. Whereas south africa has 59.26 percent points. india, which is at the third position, now has 57.29 percent points. Before adelaide, Team india was at the top of the points table, but the adelaide defeat has changed everything in one stroke. The five-match Test series between india and australia is tied at 1-1. There are three Test matches left in this series. If Team india loses even one Test match now, then all its hopes of reaching the final of the World Test championship on its own will end. If india draws one Test and wins two Test matches, then its hopes will remain alive. However, to confirm the ticket to the final, india will have to win the remaining three Test matches at any cost.

If Team india defeats australia 3-2 in the five-match Test series, then it will be in the top-2. australia has to play a two-match Test series in sri lanka after this series. Australia's victory there will not be easy. However, south africa has to play a Test series against pakistan at home. In this, the African team is expected to win more. In such a situation, the race to reach the wtc final between india, south africa and australia has become very exciting.
