India at WTC 2023-25
Rohit Sharma & Co began with a 1-0 win against West Indies to begin the WTC 2023-25 cycle after a WTC Final 2023 heartbreak. India followed up the win with a 1-1 draw in South Africa. But the IND vs ENG Test series is crucial for India as it offers a lot of WTC points.
After a loss in the 1st Test, India can still get to 68.52 PCT if they win the remaining three Tests.
In this cycle, India will play 8 more matches at home and 5 away. The next big clash for Rohit Sharma & Co will be against New Zealand. Bangladesh will be the other visitor. However, it’s the Border Gavaskar Trophy that will decide the finalists of WTC Final 2025. India will tour Australia for five Tests in November-January.
