14.03.2023 - 16:43 sports.ndtv.com

The four-match Test series between India and Australia concluded with the Rohit Sharma-led side as the winners with a 2-1 lead.

The thrilling contest came to an end on Monday after the fourth Test finished in a draw. The series turned out to be crucial one as both the teams have now secured their places in the final of the World Test Championship at the Oval.

Australia registered a victory in the third Test to enter the marquee event while India's road to qualification got cleared after Sri Lanka lost their first Test against New Zealand.

As both the finalists of the WTC have been found, the summit clash will be held in June this year. However, former Australia all-rounder Brad Hogg was not pleased with ICC's decision of hosting the WTC final in June as the fans would lose their interest from Test cricket because of such a long wait.
