New Delhi. The hopes of the fans in the India vs England test match have been dashed. Where England were not expected to win even a cent, Ben Stokes and Co. have justified the proverbial rabbit out of a hat. In the first test, India had to face a crushing defeat by 28 runs against the English team. This defeat has had a deep impact on the Indian team. Team India has slipped down in the World Test Championship points table.
Before India on January 28, Australia also had to face a historic defeat against West Indies at Gabba. But Australia remains at number one in the points table. Australia has played maximum 10 test matches so far. Out of which the Kangaroo team has won in 6 matches while it had to face defeat in 3 matches and one match proved to be a draw. Due to a defeat on the South Africa tour and now a defeat in the very first match against England, the Indian team has slipped down in the points table.
The upcoming matches will be important
The Indian team is at 5th place in the points table. Team India has played 5 Tests so far in which there have been 2 wins and 2 losses while one match was a draw on the South Africa tour. After this situation, the upcoming matches become very important for Team India. If Team India makes a comeback in the coming matches, then it can achieve second place after Australia.
