Why England Test being delayed by 10 months is important: The way to the Test World Cup final will be easy, if you lose, you will have to win all the next 6 matches.

A test match will be played between India and England from July 1. This match was to be played on Team India's last tour of England, but then after 4 matches, the Corona outbreak broke out and the match had to be postponed. The match may be delayed by almost 10 months, but it still holds the same importance as it was in England last summer. For Team India, its value is even more.

 

Chance to repeat the history of the Dravidian army

 

If the Indian team wins this test, then the series will also be 3-1 in its name. After 15 years, the Indian team will win the Test series on the soil of England. India last managed to win a series in England in 2007 under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid. After this, India had to face defeat badly in the series played in 2011, 2014, and 2018.

 

Even in the event of a loss in Birmingham, India will have a point of consolation. Then the series will be drawn 2-2. Then the story will be that for the first time in 15 years, India did not allow England to win the series at home. Today's India does not want this satisfying success.

 

WTC will have a direct impact

 

In the first season of the World Test Championship, Team India reached the final, where it had to face defeat against New Zealand. This time New Zealand is already out of the final race. England also has no chance of reaching the final. India competes.

 

The Indian team is currently in the third position in the WTC points table. One has to finish in the top 2 for the final.

 

Last time India qualified for the final with more than 70% points. Then both the finalists had more than 70% points.

 

If India has to take more than 70% points this time too, then 6 out of the last 7 matches will have to be won. After this match against England, India has to win 4 Tests from Australia at home and 2 Tests from Bangladesh at home.

 

If the Indian team loses the match against England, then its remaining 6 matches can prove to be like a knockout in a way.

 

If the Indian team wins 5 out of 7 matches then it will have around 65% points. In this situation also Team India can come in top-2, but then it will have to depend on the results of other teams also.

 

It will be fun if Virat gets a century with victory.

 

Rohit Sharma is not playing in this test. Virat may not be the captain, but the responsibility of leadership in this match on foreign soil will be on his shoulders. Virat's best often comes out under pressure. It remains to be seen whether they can end the drought of almost three years in international cricket. Not only in India, but there also is a lot of discussion among cricket lovers around the world about whether Virat will return to form in Tests or not? What do you think?
