India vs Sri Lanka: India won the 2-match Test series played between India and Sri Lanka by 1-0. The result of the second match played from 23 August was a draw. After the draw of the second Test match, the journey of the Indian team to reach the WTC 2025-27 final has also become difficult. On the fourth day of the Colombo Test, it seemed that the Indian team would easily win this match. But on the fifth day the Sri Lankan team turned the entire game upside down. Now how many more matches does India need to win to reach the WTC 2025-27 finals?
What equations are being created for India?
The Indian team now has to play 7 more Test matches in the World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle. Out of these 7 Test matches, India needs to win 6 matches. If Team India loses more than one match or draws more than one match, then its dream of reaching the final will remain unfulfilled. The coming 7 matches are not easy for India. The Indian team has to tour New Zealand, where a 2-match test series will be played. It is not going to be easy to win the Test series on New Zealand soil, because New Zealand is very strong at home. After this, the Indian team has to host Australia at home, where a 5-match Test series will be played. In such a situation, almost all the matches are do or die for the Indian team. It will be interesting to see how the Indian team wins 6 out of 7 test matches.
