What happens to India’s WTC final chances as follow-on against Australia, washout in Brisbane looms large

Hindustan Times  

India find themselves in trouble, with the Day 3 proceedings at the Gabba opening up two possibilities, both not in favour of the touring side. India's captain Rohit Sharma, center, and his batting partner KL Rahul leaves the field as rain stops play during play on day three of the third cricket test between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane India are currently in a must-win territory as far as their hopes of making the World Test Championship final are concerned. What happens if India lose: A second consecutive defeat in the series could end India's chances of making the WTC final for the third straight time. Even if India bounce back to win in Melbourne and Sydney in the last two matches, the most they can amass is 58.8 per cent, while Australia, currently second on the table, can still get to 60.5 per cent, given they whitewash Sri Lanka at home in their final series. If they lose in either Melbourne or Sydney, resulting in a 2-2 draw in the series, India would need Sri Lanka to beat the Aussie 1-0 in their contest.
