Team india moves to 3rd place after a single match..!?

India has been pushed to third place in the WTC Points Table after the 2nd Test match between india and Australia. After the second Test between australia and india held in adelaide, there has been a big change in the World Test championship points table. The Australian team won the 2nd Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Following this, it has taken the first place in the points table. With its 9th win in this WTC cycle, the Pat Cummins-led australia team is in first place with 60.71 points. south africa has played well in the Test series against sri lanka and is in a strong position. south africa is currently in second place with 59.26 points. If they win the next Test, they can move up to the top of the points table. On the other hand, the indian team continues to face a decline. india, who were in the first place, have fallen to 57.29 and have been relegated to the third place in the points table. To qualify for the World Test championship, they need to win all the remaining 3 Tests. Even if they lose one more match, India's chances of making the final will depend on the wins and losses of the other teams.
Australia has bounced back after the defeat in the first Test. They defeated the indian team in the day-night Test match held in adelaide to level the 5-match Test series 1-1. After winning the toss in the second Test, the indian team elected to bat first. Starc's pace got the indian team all out for 180 runs in the first innings. Then, batting, australia scored 337 runs in the first innings and took a lead of 157 runs. In a difficult phase, the indian team was all out for 175 runs in the second innings, shocking them. australia won without losing a wicket with a win by 19 runs.
India's chances of making it to the wtc final are in doubt after their defeat in the 2nd Test against Australia. Before the Border-Gavaskar series began, india lost the three-match Test series against new zealand in india 0-3. As a result, they need to defeat australia 4-0 in the 5-match Border-Gavaskar series to directly qualify for the WTC final. Despite winning the first Test, the crushing defeat in the second match has made the WTC final's chances difficult. india is forced to win all the remaining 3 Tests.
