India’s path to the World Test Championship (WTC) Final in 2025 has become increasingly difficult following New Zealand’s landmark Test series victory on Indian soil. This series included a significant 113-run win in the second test. As a result, India now faces the daunting task of needing to win four out of their six remaining matches to secure a spot in the WTC Final at Lord’s. With only a slim lead over Australia in the standings, the pressure is mounting. Additionally, other teams like South Africa are also strong contenders, which adds to the uncertainty of India’s qualification unless they deliver outstanding performances in their forthcoming games.
