Team India is now preparing for their next text series, which will be against New Zealand before flying to Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team in the test series against New Zealand. He managed to impress cricket fans with his captaincy during the test series against Bangladesh. India defeated Bangladesh cricket team 2-0 before three-match T20I series. Rohit steps down from T20I duties. So now he’s focused completely on test matches, as team India has a high chance to win the WTC 2025 trophy.

India had reached WTC finals before, but the trophy remains at a distance. India now on top of the WTC 2025 points table and almost put a foot into the final stage of the ongoing World Test Championship circle. Rohit won the ICC men’s T20I World Cup title after failing to win the ODI World Cup, where the Men in Blue Brigade lost in the final match of the series. Rohit has chances to win the test championship after the t20 world cup. He can surpass Team India’s former test captain Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly’s record during a three-match test series against New Zealand.
As a test team captain, Virat Kohli had won 14 and lost seven out of 22 matches, and a draw in his name. So Virat has a percentage of 63.63 in the World Test Championship. While Rohit has the percentage of 66.66. Under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, India won 12 matches out of 18. Rohit needs only two test match wins to surpass Virat’s record.
If Rohit-led team India defeats NZ by 3-0, then the Mumbai cricketer will surpass Sourav Ganguly’s record. Sourav has 97 wins from 196 matches under his belt, while Rohit has won 95 matches so far across all formats with team India.
