<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Recently, Sharma led India to a resounding 2-0 Test series victory over Bangladesh, clinching a seven-wicket win in the second Test to complete the series whitewash. This triumph not only solidified India&rsquo;s dominance but also strengthened their position at the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 points table. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With a points percentage of 74.24&#37, India currently holds the lead, while defending champions Australia follow in second place with a percentage of 62.50&#37. The finalists from the 2023 WTC are closely pursued by Sri Lanka (55.56&#37), England (42.19&#37), South Africa (38.89&#37), and New Zealand (37.50&#37). Following the two consecutive defeats to India, Bangladesh has fallen to seventh place with a points percentage of 34.38&#37.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking ahead, India&rsquo;s prospects for qualifying for a third consecutive WTC final remain bright. If the team secures victories in at least four of their remaining eight matches without incurring any penalties, they will be guaranteed a top-two finish in the standings.</span></p><p>
