Team India`s poor show at the ICC events continued as Australia won their maiden World Test Championship (WTC) title with a crushing 209-run victory on the fifth day of the summit clash on Sunday. This was India`s second defeat in successive WTC finals after losing to New Zealand in 2021 in the inaugural edition.

Australian pacer Scott Boland produced a bowling spell of rare quality to get rid of Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja in the same over, effectively shutting the door on India, who were bowled out for 234 in their second innings on the final day at The Oval.
