India currently acquire 3rd place in the ICC World Test Championship standings.
They boast a PCT of 57.29 after competing in 16 matches.
India now need at least 2 wins and 1 draw to guarantee a spot in the WTC final.
This would elevate their percentage to 60.53.
It would secure the Rohit Sharma-led side 2nd place behind South Africa.
If India win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-2, they will finish at 58.77 per cent.
Losing the series 2-3 would drop the percentage to 53.51.
India’s fate will then depend on South Africa and Australia’s performances.
South Africa will have to lose both the Tests against Pakistan.
Australia will have to underperform in the Sri Lanka series.
