Not Thinking Of World Test Championship Final, It's 4 Months Away: Ajinkya Rahane

By IANS News February 03, 2021 • 19:35 PM View: 795

The Indian team is not looking at the World Test Championship (WTC) final just yet and is focussing on winning the first Test against England here, said India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane on Wednesday.

India has to beat England by winning at least two Tests to qualify for the World Test Championship final. They need to win 2-0, 2-1, 3-0, 3-1, or 4-0 to enter the final, for which New Zealand has already qualified.
