How Team India can reach in WTC Final after losing 2nd Test: The race for the World Test Championship 2025 final is getting more interesting with every match. Team India looked like a strong contender to make it to the title match before the start of the Test season, but suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat against New Zealand at home. That's why its WTC final hopes depend on the Australia tour. India had started the tour brilliantly and won a tremendous victory in Perth, but Australia made a tremendous comeback in the Adelaide Test and Rohit Sharma's team suffered a big defeat. After this defeat, fans are desperate to know whether India is out of the WTC final race or still remains.
Before the Adelaide Test (IND vs AUS), India was at the top of the World Test Championship points table with a PCT of 61.11 in 15 matches, but now there has been a big change in its position. Now the Indian team has slipped to third place with a loss of two places. Its PCT has also fallen to 57.29. Australia's team has reached the first position with a PCT of 60.71 in 14 matches. While South Africa is in second place with a PCT of 59.26 in 9 matches. Sri Lanka and New Zealand are also still in contention. In such a situation, the race for the final has become very interesting.

Direct entry will be given if BGT wins 4-1: If the Indian team wins the remaining three matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, then it will make it to the final without any trouble and will not have to depend on anyone. This will increase India's PCT to 64.04. Even if Australia beats Sri Lanka 2-0, it will not be able to match India in terms of PCT.
Other results will increase difficulties: If India is not successful in winning BGT 4-1, then its biggest threat will be from Australia and South Africa. Both Australia and South Africa are performing well and can eliminate Team India from the race for the final.
