Team India have been one of the top-tier teams in the ICC World Test Championship. They are the only team that made it to the final in the first two editions. In the first cycle, Virat Kohli led the team from the front and under his captaincy, India lost to New Zealand in the final.
The New Zealand cricket team defeated Team India by eight wickets to win the inaugural edition of the ICC WTC. On the other hand, India reached the second consecutive final, this time under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Needless to say, they lost to Australia by a big margin of 209 runs.
Unfortunately, India lost two consecutive finals of the World Test Championship. They just couldn’t pull the trigger in the final encounters. On the other hand, one must praise the batters for chipping in with valuable scores for the team when it mattered the most.
Let’s take a look at the 3 players with the most 30+ scores in the last 10 Test innings for India.
1. Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant has been the most consistent batter for Team India as far as the longest format is concerned.
