IND vs AUS: Indian team succumbed to a shambolic defeat at the hands of Australia in the World Test Championship final at the Kennington Oval. Despite some solid showings on the fourth day Rohit Sharma and Co. faltered pretty haplessly on the fifth day to maintain their ICC tournament losing saga over the years. Australia have now added every possible ICC men's trophy to their cabinet to date.

The onus was on the likes of Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara to bring back the glory but both the batsmen failed to provide any kind of momentum in this summit clash. Pujara's County stint with Sussex didn't really come into play while Ajinkya Rahane emerged as the sole winner from this Test match.
