The Indian cricket team is on the verge of making it to the World Test Championship final once more. Its location has not yet been established, but the likelihood is quite strong. These opportunities were somewhat diminished when the Indian team lost three straight Test matches against New Zealand at home, but they have begun to resurface now that the team has won the opening Test in Australia.

In the meantime, Team India will go to the World Test Championship final and become the team with the most victories in international competitions if it wins Australia in the second Test as well. which, to yet, no team has accomplished.

The two WTC teams with the most victories away from home are India and England:

This World Test Championship cycle still has four games left for the Indian squad to play. All of these games are scheduled to take place in this series against Australia. For the Indian squad, this series has therefore become crucial. throughout the meantime, throughout the World Test Championship’s history, the Indian squad has won 12 games played abroad. It will be the team’s thirteenth victory away from home if they win the following game as well. Since 2019, India has participated in and won 12 of their 25 Test matches played abroad. The England squad is currently on level with India as well.

India and England’s cricket teams are comparable.

In terms of England, it has participated in 30 World Test Championship games on foreign soil thus far, winning 12 of them. In other words, India’s and England’s squads are now on par. However, the Indian squad will become the number one team and make history as soon as they win one game. The England squad still has a few games left in this cycle, despite the fact that it is no longer in the running for the World Test Championship final.

In other words, there will be more turmoil between these two clubs. For India to maintain its record as the team with the most victories away from home and secure a spot in the World Test Championship final, it is crucial that the team wins all of its remaining games against Australia.

Australia has won a total of 10 Test matches on foreign soil. Currently ranked third in this regard, the team has played 22 matches on foreign soil in the World Test Championship, securing victory in 10 of them. However, the ongoing series against India is being played at home for Australia, so even a win in this series will not impact their record of overseas victories.

As for Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, the focus will be on whether they can achieve a new milestone by winning the next match, or if they will need to wait a little longer to make history.
