After India's heavy loss to South Africa in the 2nd Test of the 2025 series, their World Test Championship (WTC) qualification scenario has become challenging
India is currently 5th in the WTC standings with about 48.15% points percentage.
To qualify for the final, India likely needs to win most of its remaining Tests in the cycle, with estimates suggesting at least 8 wins out of the remaining matches.
South Africa leads strongly with a high points percentage (75%) and Australia is comfortably in top position.
India will need to improve consistency and win critical upcoming series, including the tough Australia away series, to stay in contention.
Losing further matches would all but eliminate India's chance to reach the WTC final in the 2025-27 cycle.
