By IANS News February 19, 2023 • 18:26 PM View: 3360

India's massive victory against Australia in the second Test of the four-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series here on Sunday pushed them closer to a spot in the final and ended South Africa's hopes in the World Test Championships.

An emphatic six-wicket victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday gave India an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series and helped them retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The easy win saw Rohit Sharma's side move up to a win percentage of 64.06 and they are now firmly in second place in the World Test Championships standings.
