Team India's hopes of reaching the World Test Championship (WTC) Final suffered a major blow after this loss

India fell to the third position in the WTC Points Table. However, they are still in the running for qualification

The Indian cricket team cannot lose any more matches in the ongoing series against Australia to keep their WTC Final dreams alive

With three matches remaining, three more wins for India will guarantee their spot

However, two wins and a draw can also make sure that they will find a place in the WTC Final if South Africa win the 2nd Test match against Sri Lanka
