On a gripping final day of the ICC World Test Championship at The Oval, India’s dreams were shattered as Australia secured victory and claimed the prestigious title.

Indian hopes shattered
As play resumed on the fifth day, Indian fans held their breath, hoping for a resilient batting performance from Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane. However, their aspirations were quickly extinguished as Australia’s formidable bowling attack struck with precision.
Australia needed just over a single session to dismantle India’s batting lineup, taking seven crucial wickets to seal their triumph. The Australian team showcased their prowess, delivering a masterclass performance that left India struggling to mount a significant challenge.
Virat Kohli’s Instagram Story
Following the disappointing loss, Virat Kohli, who endured a challenging match with scores of 14 and 49, turned to social media to express his emotions. Kohli took to his Instagram story and shared a quote from the ancient Chinese Taoist philosopher, which read, “Silence is the source of great strength.” The cryptic message hinted at the skipper’s contemplation and introspection in the aftermath of the defeat.
The loss in the ICC World Test Championship final comes as a blow to the Indian team, who had fought valiantly throughout the tournament to reach this stage. India’s decade long drought of an ICC trophy continued with their defeat against Australia in the WTC final. Despite the setback, India’s journey to the final showcased their resilience and skill, earning them accolades from fans and pundits alike.
On the other hand, Australia’s triumph in the final secured them the coveted ICC Test mace, symbolizing their status as the world’s top-ranked Test team. Their victory highlighted their exceptional teamwork, skillful execution, and ability to thrive under pressure.
