India and Australia
BGT 2027: With the defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Team India’s journey in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 ended. Australia won the 5-match Test series 3-1 and made it to the title match, completely eliminating Team India from the race for the WTC final. Australia captured the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) after 10 years and with this made it to the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) for the second consecutive time. The BGT Trophy was with Team India for the last 4 times but this time Australia won the prestigious trophy after a long wait.
The Australian team will now face South Africa in the final of the World Test Championship 2023-25 in June this year. The South African team has reached the WTC final for the first time while Australia is the defending champion. Australia won the WTC title for the first time by defeating India in the WTC final played in 2023. Even at that time, the captain of Australia’s Test team was Pat Cummins. In this way, it will be the first time in the history of WTC that Team India will not play in the final.
Will have to wait for BGT
