India's dream of reaching the ICC World Test Championship WTC 2025-27 final now hangs by a thread, and the situation looks far tougher than it did at the start of the cycle. And now Aakash Chopra has openly claimed that the Indian cricket team has pushed itself into a corner and now needs near-perfect results to stay alive in the WTC Final race.
WTC 2027 dream in danger as India faces a brutal road aheadThe Shubman Gill-led Indian Test team currently sits sixth on the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 points table with 48.15 percent points. Half of their journey is already over in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, as they have finished three of their six Test series.
India dropped all WTC points in the home series against South Africa, which hurt badly. Before being whitewashed by the Proteas side at home, India could not get enough points either on the England tour, finishing the five-match Test series 2-2 with less than half the possible tally.
