India’s ICC World Test Championship final qualification chances seem to grow slimmer as they feature in the fourth Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Falling behind in the Boxing Day Test by a considerable margin within the first two days, it is highly improbably for India to fashion a win from the current position. The other two remaining outcomes will mean India’s WTC 2025 final chances will hit a major roadblock before the New Year’s Test in Sydney, starting January 3. India’s WTC points percentage (PCT) slipped from 57.29 to 55.88 after the draw in Brisbane last week.
