Team India have gone on top of the ICC World Test Championship points table after beating England by 10 wickets in the third Test match of the four-match series. The Indian Cricket Team beat England by 10 wickets in the third Test which was played at Ahmedabad as the batsmen from both ends failed to make a mark.

In what turned out to be one of the deadliest tracks in the modern-day game, the English and Indian batsmen found it dangerous to play on the spin tracks. Axar Patel was the star performer for the home team as he picked a total of 11 wickets in the game. Ravichandran Ashwin also picked 8 wickets in the match. Now, the home team just need to draw the final Test match in order to qualify for the final of the ICC World Test Championship.

England have now been eliminated out of the ICC World Test Championship after losing out to the men in blue away from home. They had to win at least a couple of Test matches in order to stay in contention for the final of the ICC World Test Championship. Australia can also qualify for the final of the WTC if England manage to win the final Test of the tour, which is scheduled to take place from March 4 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The final of the ICC World Test Championship will take place from June 18 at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground in England. New Zealand have already become the first team to qualify for the final of the tournament, after having completed all their Test series in the ICC World Test Championship.
