Team India: The Indian team has created history by defeating Afghanistan by an innings and 300 runs in the only test match played in New Chandigarh. Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Indian team performed brilliantly and won this match in just 3 days. However, despite this historic victory, the Indian team has not gained any advantage in the WTC points table. Despite registering such a big win in this match, Team India has not got any points.

Why did Team India not get any points?

In fact, even after achieving such a big victory in the only match against Afghanistan, the Indian team has not gained any advantage in the points table of the World Test Championship. This match had no impact in WTC. This is because this test match was not within the World Test Championship. Let us tell you, WTC is currently played between a total of 9 teams and Afghanistan’s team is not a part of it.

At least 2 matches are played in WTC

Apart from this, at least two Test match series are played under the World Test Championship cycle, but only one match has been played between India and Afghanistan. This was a friendly match between the two teams and hence Team India did not gain any advantage in the WTC points table even if it won this match.

India’s position in WTC points table

The Indian team is currently at sixth position in the points table of the World Test Championship. In the WTC 2025-2027 cycle, Team India has played 9 matches so far in which they have won 4 matches and lost 4 matches. While one match remained a draw. At present the winning percentage of the Indian team is 48.15.
