India Top on ICC Test Championship Points Table
After an impressive victory in the West Indies, the Indian national cricket team led by Virat Kohli is top of the points table in the current ICC Test Championship. They scored a 318-point victory in their opening match of the ICC World Test Championship. They had a perfect 60-point win, which allowed them to seal the top spot.
After being beaten in the first Ashes Test 2019 and the second draw, Ben Stokes' class helped them take fourth place in the table. Otherwise, they would have been at the bottom of the table. For India, Jasprit Bumrah caused chaos with a five-wicket portage, completing the 100 Test wickets, long-awaited by Ajinkya Rahane.
Ajinkya Rahane stars with the bat while Jasprit Bumrah delivered the second set. The other outstanding players of the team who accomplished the task to perfection was Ishant Sharma in the first rounds. Hanuma Vihari in the second set, alongside a decent contribution from Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja.
The victory propelled India to the top of the World Test Championship standings with 60 points. Sri Lanka is currently second, although they have an equal number of points. Australia and England are now third and fourth respectively with 32 points.
For England, it was Ben Stokes, who alone won the match for the team. England, who were taken for a humiliating 67 in the first set, needed 73 points to win when the last man, Jack Leach, came on the fourth day. Stokes, who took charge, broke the remaining points to seal one of the magic wins in the cricket game.
