Rahul Dravid says India have fallen behind in WTC 2027 race
Rahul Dravid says India have fallen behind in the World Test Championship 2027 final race.
Former India coach Rahul Dravid stated that India have fallen behind in the race for the World Test Championship 2027 final despite taking a 1-0 lead in Sri Lanka. India sit fifth in the points table after early cycle matches.
Dravid said the Sri Lanka series is an important step but the team must win the majority of its remaining fixtures to close the gap. Two-time finalists India face an uphill task to reach the final again.
The current position leaves India needing strong results across the remaining schedule that includes tours to England, Australia and South Africa.

Dravid’s public assessment removes any complacency that a 1-0 lead in Sri Lanka automatically restores India’s top-two trajectory.
