After withstanding an all-out assault, India clinched the four-Test series 2-1 at The Gabba handing Australia their first defeat at the stadium since 1988. India retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy and move into No.1 spot in the ICC World Test Championship rankings while Australia slip to No.3 position.
The victory gave India the highest PCT in the nine-team table they have 71.7% over New Zealand's 70% and Australia's 69.2%. In November, the ICC had announced that the poinst system for the World Test Championship would be remodeled due to the disruption caused to the regular calendar by COVID-19, with teams being ranked by percentage of points earned (PCT).

That in mind, the ICC World Test Championship is interestingly poised with Australia, India and New Zealand the top contenders for making the final in June. Below are some qualification scenarios:
India 71.7%
Remaining matches: Four-Test home series against England
Indias win in the final Test in Brisbane has boosted their chances of making the final. To cement their place in the final, India will need to win by at least a two-match margin and if they lose one, then they will need to win three games (4-0, 3-0, 3-1 or 2-0) in their upcoming four-match home series against England, whereas a 0-3 or 0-4 loss against England will wipe away their chances of making the final regardless of other results.
New Zealand 70.0%
Remaining matches: None
The equation for New Zealand is simple; as they may not have more engagements (their home series against Bangladesh is not confirmed). New Zealand will remain on 70.0%, having claimed 420 points from a possible 600. Therefore, they need no more than one other team to finish with more than 70.0% of points earned.
For instance, a combination of England winning all their remaining 5 matches and South Africa winning by a 3-0 or 2-0 margin against Australia would end New Zealands chances of making the final.
Australia 69.2%
Remaining matches: Three Tests in South Africa (TBC)
Australia have slipped to third place with 69.1% points after their loss in the final Test against India in Brisbane. To secure a place in the final, Australia will have to win at least two of the yet to be confirmed 3-match series against South Africa and avoid any losses. On the other hand, a home series win by South Africa will end Australias chances of making the final. Any other results require a favourable combination of series results not featuring Australia.
England 65.2%
Remaining matches: One Test in Sri Lanka, four Tests in India
England have an outside chance to reach the final. Their best chance is to beat Sri Lanka in the remaining Test in Galle and win the four-match series against India by a 3-0 or 4-0 margin. Any other results require a favourable combination of series results not featuring England.
South Africa 40.0%
Remaining matches: Three-Test home series against Australia (TBC)
South Africa may also still be in with a mathematical chance, though it requires them to win sweep both their upcoming series i.e. away series against Pakistan and home series against Australia as well as England's results in Sri Lanka and India going in favour of Quinton de Kock's side.
The remaining teams Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the West Indies and Bangladesh will not be able to reach the final even if they win all their remaining fixtures.

Sardar Patel Cricket Stadium In Motera Renamed Narendra Modi Stadium |
The Motera stadium, the biggest cricket stadium in the world, was inaugurated by President Ram Nath Kovind, and was renamed the Narendra Modi Stadium.Highlights
- The Sardar Patel Stadium has been renamed to the Narendra Modi Stadium
- President Ram Nath Kovind inaugurated the stadium in Ahmedabad
- It will host its 1st international match starting today since renovation
President Ram Nath Kovind inaugurated the newly revamped Motera cricket stadium in Ahmedabad, which has been renamed the Narendra Modi Stadium, on Wednesday. The ground, which was earlier named the Sardar Patel Stadium, and more popularly known as the Motera stadium, has been renamed after the Prime Minister, who was also formerly a president of the Gujarat Cricket Association. Home Minister Amit Shah and Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju, along with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah, were also present at the event. The Narendra Modi Stadium -- the largest cricket ground in the world -- will host its first international match on Wednesday, when India will take on England in the Day-Night Test. The stadium will be a part of the planned Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave in the city.
"This stadium was conceptualised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat. He was president of the Gujarat Cricket Association at that time," President Kovind said in his address after the inauguration.
"This stadium is an example of eco-friendly development," he added.
"1,32,000 people can sit and watch cricket here at the Narendra Modi Stadium which ahs been inaugurated by the President. This will be the world's biggest sports stadium," Home Minister Amit Shah said at the event.
"Coupled with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave and Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, a sports complex will also be built in Naranpura. These three will be equipped to host any international sports event," he said.
