Review That Cost Australia A Place In The World Test Championship Final

India defeated England in the four-match test series 3-1 to confirm their place in the World Test Championship(WTC) final on Saturday. After India's win, the Australian hopes to qualify for the WT

However, Australia had a chance to complete the win. Stokes and Jack Leach were involved in a historic partnership when a Pat Cummins delivery struck Stokes on the pad. The whole of Australia appealed but it was pitched outside leg stump. 

Captain Tim Paine had only one review left and with the game slipping away he had to take the gamble. As expected, Australia lost the review and Ben Stokes finished the match eventually. 

I mean, I am not saying he definitely is to blame, but this Tim Paine review possibly cost Aus a WTC final berth

Throwback to Ashes 2019 when Cummins had Leach in front (or not).
