When is Team India's next match: Date, Time & Opposition
Team India squandered yet another opportunity to clinch an ICC title, going down to Australia by 209 runs in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at The Oval.
In a disappointingly one-sided encounter, India won the toss and bowled first under overcast conditions. But that was probably the only thing that went right for them in the mega clash.
Australia recovered from a precarious 76/3 courtesy of brilliant hundreds from Travis Head and Steve Smith. The Aussies posted 469 and then reduced India to 296. It could have been worse for Rohit Sharma and Co. but for a defiant 89 from comeback man Ajinkya Rahane and handy contributions from Shardul Thakur (51) and Ravindra Jadeja (48).
Despite the fightback, Team India were way behind in the contest. They conceded a 173-run first-innings lead and ended up losing the WTC final following a rather abject surrender with the bat on Day 5.
Team India’s next match will be against West Indies
Following the disappointing result against Australia, India will get a break before they embark on their next journey, which will mark the start of the 2023-25 WTC cycle for them.
