The equation for Team India to make it to the final of the World Test Championship is simple. If India wants to make it to the final of the World Test Championship, they will have to defeat Australia at their home. If Team India is not able to do this then it will have to depend on other teams. Looking at the recent form of Team India, this seems very difficult at the moment.
