The Indian cricket team is standing at a juncture where every ball, every run and every wicket is deciding its World Test Championship (WTC) dream.
This is a very exciting time for cricket fans. Cricket analysts like Aakash Chopra have made it clear how big a challenge the team is facing. The Indian team, which was once considered invincible in world cricket, is today fighting to save its place in the WTC.
According to Aakash Chopra, India’s position in the WTC
In the last few months, the team has suffered many such defeats, which gave a severe blow to its confidence. The complete 0-3 defeat against New Zealand broke the back of the team.
Rain also played spoilsport in the West Indies match, where full points were lost. The defeat in the Adelaide Test against Australia proved to be the turning point.
Aakash Chopra said in clear words – it’s all his own fault. He believes that if full points were available in New Zealand, there would be no such compulsion today. The team will now have to be at full strength in every match. Chopra says one mistake in cricket can sink an entire team, and India has made many such mistakes.
There are still 3 matches left in the 5-match series against Australia. Just on these matches, India’s survival or postponement in the WTC will depend. If we win all three matches, there is no tension. Otherwise, you will have to wait again. Every match for the team is now like a final, where a loss means elimination from the WTC.
Last chance for India in WTC?
The performance of South Africa and Sri Lanka has also become important now. A win or a loss for South Africa against Pakistan could change everything. It has become a game where the results of not just India but other teams are also important.
The Indian cricket team now has only one way – to win every match. After Virat Kohli, the team under Rohit Sharma needs to rekindle its old jauhar.
India’s journey in the WTC is still on. Every run, every wicket is very precious now. Cricket fans all over the country are hoping that the team will be able to overcome these challenges.
