Congratulations team Australia for giving us such a beautiful final. Australia showed why they are best for the state.They defeated team like India by a huge margin of 209 runs in this final stage which is very embarrassing for India. Batsmen failed here. India's batsmen totaled 61 more runs than Australia's first innings total which is very disappointing for India. Couldn't see any century from any of India's batsmen in two innings. Where India had all inform batsmen who polished themselves by playing IPL. But they did. Could not survive in front of Australia's bowling.

India is going to lose the ICC World Test Championship by a huge margin of runs. A while ago India had seven wickets in hand but now India has only one wicket in hand with 220 runs needed to win. 

With Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane at the wicket, India were in good shape but the fifth day started with a major collapse in India's batting line-up.
 India's batting woes in the first innings were clearly visible in the second innings as well. It is only a matter of time for Australia to win the World Test Championship as India have only one wicket in their hands and one wicket can fall anytime as there is no experienced and recognized batsman in the wicket now. 

Congratulations in advance to the Australian cricket team for winning the World Test Championship.

That was a lot quicker than we expected last 3 wickets gone in blink of an eye .
India should have played a little better or competitive, anyways congratulations Australia for winning his ICC test championship 2023 they deserved this title as we have seen their performances.
They were outstanding overall and better luck next time india they lost after coming to this point.

We never expected this kind of batting from a team like India.  India's batting could have been a little better but it was not like that and India was defeated by a huge margin of 209 runs. India could score 296 runs in the first innings but managed to score only 234 runs in the second innings.

By the end of IPL the Indian team was very confident for the Test Championship and all the batsmen or bowlers who were included in the Test Championship team were quite experienced and skilled complete batsmen and bowlers. But in the end India failed to prove themselves again. 
No batsman could make a half century for India in the second innings. If no batsman can make a half century in Test cricket, how can a team win that match.

India lost 7 wickets only collecting 70 runs .

Anyway congratulations Australia cricket team to win the WTC champion trophy.

I don't believe Australia can win and beat India who have been the best team for a long time because in the previous season Australia was not even able to match India.
To make matters worse India lost 7 wickets and couldn't get the run it was aiming for.
This is an embarrassing defeat for India and they should be able to correct some mistakes so that in the next championship they can return to have a better game.

[synchronym]

Australia gave India a target of 444 I believe. India is batting right now, and Virat Kohli is in the middle alongside Rahane. India has already lost three wickets. India still needs 308 to win. Things are not looking good for India right now. Australia will surely be looking to get one more wicket today.

Currently the only hope for India is Virat Kohli and Rahane, start of indian batting were horrible just like previous inning rather than Sharma who add some significant runs before dismissal. Thing for India is looking good but may be it's not because they need 280 runs in 90 overs which looks easily if these two batter hold wickets in hand and build a big partnership then may be India got victory, but in case any of these player lose wicket then upcoming batter has not ability to chased down target in this crutial under pressure situation, the only hope in these crutial condition who always play important role was Pant who's currently not available due to injury so yeh point is they need power hitter who can Handel pressure through power hitting after any dismissal..

Unfortunately, Team India lost the World Test Championship by a huge margin of 209 runs. In the beginning, openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill started the game well. The front five batsmen played well and the team collected runs well. The partnership between Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane was good. But then the players could not bat well. But I think Team India can bat well till number 9 player but bad luck they did not enjoy the batting with the power they batted in The Oval Stadium in England. Will learn from in the future. Congratulations to Australia for claiming the title of World Test Championship champions.

If India have batted at least 2 or more than 2 sessions today then we could have said that they tried their best to save the match or at least resisted the Aussies' win. But it look like that all the Indian batsmen were in a hurry to get out and go back to their hotels. How can a team be all out and lose 7 wickets in one session when they know that they are playing a final for WTC.

To be honest, it was a disappointment for the India team and a disappointing end to the WTC. India again came so close to winning a world test championship but again failed in the finals. The dream to lift the WTC cup remains a dream for the team India.

You have highlighted the good side of Indian team how one of the best team in a Test can lose 7 wickets in just one session and get all out for only 70 runs. However, Rohit Sharma will have to answer to the BCCI about the performance of this World Test Championship final match. Despite the squad including some experienced batsmen Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, they must answer to the Indian Cricket Board for such a poor performance.

[eaLiTy]

Australia nailed the coffin and won the World Test Championship final and the Indian players can complain about the fatigue after playing a long IPL season for the loss  . I doubt whether winning the toss would have made any difference and Australia played well especially Travis Head who was attacking at run a ball and the patient innings of Steven Smith.

Positive aspect about India is that Ajinkya Rahane played a well after returning to the team after a long gap.

The Indian team in particular is a bit confused about the team arrangement. For example, when playing a Test match, this game definitely requires calmer players for a long time, but I have seen them score runs like an ODI match and get out quickly. Today, from start to finish, no player could score a half-century, this is where the Indian team failed. The captain of the Indian team must follow the test players calm and determined for a long time. I think it is possible to win the Test Championship only if the rate of wicket fall is very low.

[Haunebu]

Australia are back on top of literally every format these days in style. The ironic thing here is that their population is a fraction of population of countries like India, Pakistan etc, but they still managed to produce so many quality players.

They have won literally every single ICC title over the years which goes to show how dominant they truly are. I hate their aggressive behaviour on field, but I do admire their match-winning skills.

Other teams need to learn a lot from them in several areas in my opinion.

Every player in the Indian team was very talented. But the players are not in good form. If the players were in form we would have seen better batting from them. Even then I don't think India will lose that badly. In the second innings, the Indian batsmen were batting well. It was not expected that they would face such a batting disaster at the start of the fifth day. Jadeja and Shardul Thakur batted well in the first innings but failed to collect any runs in the second innings. If the performance of the batsmen is so erratic, it is impossible to beat a big team like Australia in a Test match.

Like India, Australia has produced many good cricket players.  But coming to the Test match, Australia beat India by 209 runs in the final. This shows how well Australia has excelled in cricket.  Because beating India by such huge runs is a huge achievement for any team. It was by no means expected that India would lose the match by such a huge margin of runs.  Because the difference of 209 runs cannot be easily accepted. Australia meanwhile managed to gain a lot of reputation and proved that they could field a stronger team than India for cricket.

[onecall123]

It's disappointing to see India struggle in yet another major tournament. Notice the lack of Indian batters who can stretch the innings and perform under pressure. It's time to prepare a test team with greater resilience and mental toughness. Indian batters could learn from players like Steve Smith, who are experts at playing on the back foot and adjusting to different game situations. I've to say Australians came well-prepared and had a clear strategic edge over their opponents.

In the end, it's fair to say that Australia deserved the win, and they should be congratulated for beating India as simple as that.

[coinerer]

Virat Kohli is still playing well but why Shubman Gill is not playing well in Test matches is a big question. Shubman Gill has shown great performances in IPL but in Test matches he is playing like a noob player which is not expected from him. India need 286 more runs to win the match.  India have lost three wickets and they still have 7 wickets to go. So India still has a chance to win the match. However, there are doubts as to how much India will be able to utilize this opportunity

It's a golden opportunity for Kohli to prove his form in test format. Kohli is not out on 44 along with Rehana. India need 286 more runs to create a history. Target of 444 has never been chased in test history before. For India to win this test, kohli need to play his part. Top three batsmen are back in the pavilion. The thing I have noticed about Indian batsmen is that they are maintaining SR of ODI format but this is test match.  

Yeah, this must be a golden opportunity for Virat Kohli to have something big at this stage and extend his test career for the few years because this inning can give him good lengthy stay into test format without any doubt, but he needs to keep his nerve for the one session and keep things under control because he is right man for this job against mighty Australian which are dominating this match from the first day but now can lose this all on last day of match even target is also big but Kohli, Rahane, Jadeja and Thakur can make things easy for their team, and they can go through as winner after losing inaugural event against New Zealand here in England two years back.

India could not do anything good by exploiting any golden opportunity.  Lost by 209 runs against Australia. while praising Virat Kohli, he got out. It can be said that Australia had a golden opportunity in this test match and they exploited it to win the final match. Australia did not play well in T20 and ODI but played well in Test matches.  But India is good in T20 and ODI match. So it can be said that both Australia and India are in a very good position in cricket

In the end, it's fair to say that Australia deserved the win, and they should be congratulated for beating India as simple as that.

Congratulations to the Australian team for winning the match so easily. Some of the bowlers in their team showed so much skill that the Australian team won the match by a huge margin. At the start of the team compliment I like to draw the attention of the bowlers. Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon took 7 wickets in the 2nd innings with a brilliant bowling performance. On the other hand, such a disaster in India has given rise to various criticisms in the country. Since India has lost, its various mistakes will now be visible to all. No one could have imagined that the Indian team would lose by such a huge margin.

[lixer]

India lost 7 wickets only collecting 70 runs .

Anyway congratulations Australia cricket team to win the WTC champion trophy.

I was not expecting result like this with all gone cheaply in first session of final day even all were expected but defeat like this is still not acceptable after having amazing last two years in test format now it's time for having few changes in this format as well because with current team we can compete against top ranked teams like Australia and England even we won last 4 series against Australia at home and in Australia but losing this final like this is surely shameful defeat.

In both innings of this final India play total 132 overs which is surely not ideal for the test format as they were doing amazing stuff at home in last few series, but again SENA factor hurt badly now before new cycle we need change in captaincy and few batsmen surely helpful.

Right now Australian sporting system is best in the world as they are investing into their grass root level which having one of the best academies and Universities as well which are helping them for going one step ahead of the world for the best in sports their priorities are clear about this all and their youths as well.

But, here in Sub-Continent we have nothing with mostly invested are going on wrong way with political influence and personal likes and dislikes are surely having their own agenda which is never been acceptable even I was sure we will have the best system in India as things were going good but sadly nothing is change all gone on back foot with many scandals and other political dilemma having his own agenda which is never been helpful for any society to develop in positive way.

At the start of the team compliment I like to draw the attention of the bowlers. Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon took 7 wickets in the 2nd innings with a brilliant bowling performance.

The best part of this series was Australian Blowing because they have done it perfectly and won it. Specially Lyon took some wickets when it's needy. And the Boland was outstanding by his inswing outswing delivery. I will give the most credit to them. I can see the future of Pace bowling for Australian Cricket team at Boland's face. Best Wishes for him. India was too week to face this guy.

Australian bowlers bowled very well. Lyon and Boland's bowling in particular was excellent. But my expectations from the Indian batsmen in this match were much higher. Because a few days ago they performed in IPL. After the IPL is over, the players are usually in a good mood. But every Indian batsman played very badly in this match. Ajinkya Rahane was the only batsman who managed to bat slightly better in both innings. Besides, no other batsman on the team was able to bat well. But I would not say that the performance of the bowlers was too bad.

In fact, Australian cricket team's pace bowling has become very deadly. Currently Australia cricket team performs very well.  In this Test match, Australia bowled exceptionally well, as a result of which many skilled batsmen of the Indian cricket team could not survive in front of the Australian bowlers. Indian team players Kohli Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill always perform very well in batting. But they failed against the Australian bowlers in the Test match against Australia. Congratulations to the Australian cricket team

I was not expecting result like this with all gone cheaply in first session of final day even all were expected but defeat like this is still not acceptable after having amazing last two years in test format.

Just like most of the user predict that after dismissal of Kohli and rehany India will surely lose this important final and it's done, as because after them no other indian batter has ability to stick against strong Australian bowling lineup, after unfortunate dismissal of kohli indian batter can't hold Thier nerves and lose wicket one after another too quickly,
It's a very scary and horrible results for indian but here few lessons for them, they should not relay on teen unexperienced batter also they should play carefully during any under pressure condition because they can chasedown the required target, also they should add some experienced power hitter which can add meaningful runs..
At the end congratulations to team Australia on his beautiful victory
