Rohit and Co. possibly could have taken straight 24 points and 100% percentage points but rain ruined the plans of team India. As a result, India was able to get 16 points and 66.67% percentage points from their first series of the World Test Championship 2023-25.
After winning the first Test by an innings and 141 runs in Dominica, India was once again the much stronger team in the second Test. On Day 4, the Windies finished at 76/2, which meant they needed 289 more runs to win (Target 365), whereas India needed additional 8 wickets to win, however not a single ball was bowled on Day 5 and the match was called off.
Nevertheless, the game at Queen’s Park Oval will be remembered in the record as Virat Kohli’s 500th international match. In addition, he further strengthened its significance by scoring his 29th century in Tests and 76th overall. Had India won the game, it could have been the perfect ending.
Even though India won the series 1-0, the second game might prove to be critical and might damage India’s prospects of reaching the WTC Final for the third time in a row. India would have earned 12 points with a victory but got just 4 with a draw. Therefore, rain prevented India from gaining 8 points in particular.
Though missing the points can hurt now, there is still a lot of time left, and a lot more bilateral series are still left to play. Therefore, it would be interesting to see how India progresses.
Not only India suffered damage due to rain but also England. The fourth Manchester Test was marred by rain, which caused the last day to be called off without a ball being bowled. Australia, the defending World Test Champions, are up 2-1 in the five-match series. They are currently at 3rd position in the WTC Points Table but will be in a good position if they win the last Test. Australia will play Pakistan at home in December and January 2023 following the Ashes.
