The ICC had introduced the World Test Championship with an aim of reviving the longest format of the game. The tournament began in mid-2019 with the prestigious Ashes series. By now, all the teams have kicked off their respective ICC World Test Championship campaigns and India has emerged as the most successful team.

The Virat Kohli-led outfit has won every match in its first three series as they have cemented the top spot of the standings with 360 points. They had first blanked West Indies in the Caribbean before whitewashing South Africa and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-wants-india-to-carry-momentum-after-bangladesh-trouncing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bangladesh</a> at home. So far, the Indian unit has seemed to be unstoppable in the numbered whites.

Their batting has bowling have delivered equally and the current bunch is a balanced lot. However, some teams may bring an end to their stupendous run of form.

Here are the 3 teams that might give a tough fight to Virat Kohli and co. in the World Test Championship &#8211;

New Zealand has been one of the most consistent sides of this decade. They have an incredible record at the ICC events as they had reached the final of the 2015 and the 2019 World Cup while they had also made it to the semifinals of the 2011 World Cup and the 2016 World T20 on Indian soil.

Apart from that, the Kiwis had also defeated India the last time these two teams met in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/photos/a.601832999847425/3086202814743752/?type=3&amp;theater" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Zealand</a>. Hence, India will find it really tough to beat the Kane Williamson-led outfit in this tournament.

The Black Caps have dominated England in the ongoing Test series between the two teams and hence, the cricket fraternity can back them to give India a run for their money in 2020. Also, this is a 2-Test series which is why the Indian players may not get the time to get adjusted to the Test cricket conditions in New Zealand.

Under Virat Kohli’s leadership, the Indian team has suffered very few defeats in the red-ball cricket. However, a majority of those losses have come against the English team. Though it looked like India would make history in the United Kingdom last year, the home side crushed India 4-1 in the 5-match series.

Joe Root’s men are set to tour India in 2021 as the two teams will collide in a 5-Test series once again. The Indian team would be confident heading into this series as they had decimated England during their previous tour. However, the fans need to remember that the 2019 World Cup winners had defeated the star-studded Indian team in the 2012-13 Test series played in India.

With the likes of Ben Stokes, Sam Curran, Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Jofra Archer and Moeen Ali gathering the experience of playing on Indian pitches during the IPL, this series will prove to be a battle of equals. Thus, among all the sides, England has the highest calibre of upsetting team India at home.

While the Indian Test team had won a Test series against Australia Down Under earlier this year, the home side did not have the services of their star batsmen, David Warner and Steve Smith. Though India had outplayed Tim Paine’s side in that series and was clearly the better team, one needs to understand that Australia is not even half a side without Smith and Warner.

Ever since the duo has returned to the Test team, the Aussies have regained their lost touch. They drew the away series against England while they are currently dominating <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/shane-watson-looking-forward-to-playing-in-pakistan-during-the-psl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pakistan</a> in the home Test series. India will have to bring their ‘A’ game to the table to stop the Australian team when they visit the nation once again in 2021.

The series between India and Australia will, in a way, decide the finalists of the World Test Championship because this 4-match Test series will be played in the second half of the competition.
