India now has to win 5 of its upcoming 6 test matches.
Former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has recently given a big statement regarding India’s chances of reaching the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). Chopra says that it looks a little difficult now.
It is noteworthy that after the defeat by 113 runs in the Pune Test match against New Zealand, India’s path to the WTC has become a bit difficult. India has to win only 4 of its upcoming six Test matches, while one match may be drawn. But it is worth noting here that 5 of these matches are against Australia in Australia.
Aakash Chopra gave a big statement
Let us tell you that after the defeat in the Pune Test match, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The important question is what is the WTC qualification scenario, because India was on a mission of dominance. We thought we would win all five (home Tests) and move forward with 100 per cent points. Now the scenario is that you have to win four and draw one out of the remaining six matches, and that is a tough task.
Chopra further said- Believe it or not, I think the upcoming BGT (Border-Gavaskar Trophy) is going to be very difficult. We have not lost for 10 years, but this time it will be very difficult to win. So the qualification scenario looks a bit difficult now, especially when you watch South Africa’s home matches. This is a big reason.
Let us tell you that India has made it to the WTC finals for the last two consecutive times, but this time it seems a little difficult. So South Africa has won the first test match against Bangladesh, and the second match is left. While its two matches are left against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. If it wins these 5 matches, it will directly make it to the WTC finals.
