When things looked on the way down for Team India after the 1st Test, many fans and pundits expected it to be another disappointing series for the side. However, Rohit Sharma’s men knew what they had to do to get back up and returned to the top in some fashion with an amazing 4-1 series win which ended with a thumping from the hosts. A win by an innings and 64 runs in the 5th Test shows how far the team have come after the 1st Test, especially after dealing with several key players being out with injuries.

The win will not only extend India’s lead on the World Test Championship Standings, but will also move them one step closer to another final and a chance to end that ICC trophy drought this time round.
India sit on top of WTC standings after New Zealand dropped down to 2nd with a defeat against Australia. England, who have had a torrid run in terms of Test cricket currently sit on 8th spot. With another dominant win in the bag, Team India’s will witness another big boost, making sure that they remain the prime contenders for the elusive title this year.
