In the first Test in Chennai, India lost by 227 runs to England. The performance of Team India batsmen in both innings was very disappointing. England bowlers bowled well and bowled India out for 192 in the second innings. After a defeat at the hands of England, India have slipped to fourth place in the World Table Championship Point table, while England have topped the table. Captain Kohli expressed his displeasure over the changes in the rules of the World Test Championships after the defeat in the first Test.

Asked about India’s fourth place finish at the World Test Championships, Team India captain said, “Nothing has changed for us. If you are on lockdown suddenly and the rules change, nothing is out of your control. There is only one thing in our control and we do it on the field. We don’t care about what’s going on in and out of the table. Some things have no logic. You can discuss this for hours, but what’s under your control is playing good cricket on the field and that’s our focus.
Frustrated by the defeat, Captain Virat Kohli knows what he said
Notably, the rules of the ICC World Test Championship were changed due to the corona virus. The championship ranking base has been removed from the ICC point table to a winning percentage. As such, the higher the winning percentage, the higher the chances of a team rising. Initially, ICC rules also hurt Team India and the team lost first place. In any event, England must beat England in this Test series to reach the final of the World Test Championship.
