India routed Joe Root’s team 3–1 in the fourth Test match being played in Ahmedabad on Saturday. India led the standings until November, when the Coronovirus epidemic caused a disruption in the points system due to the disruption brought to Australia to take the top spot.

    India suffered a surprise defeat for the first time to Australia to win a 32-year series at the Gabba ground in Brisbane before a draw in Sydney.

    “We played cricket well in India, we played good cricket outside India as well,” senior batsman Rohit Sharma said.

    “We were put under pressure, we were put in that difficult position many times and we responded well. That’s why we qualified for the finals here.”

    Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said that for players like himself and fast bowler Ishant Sharma, who mostly play in Tests, the final is “really like the World Cup”.
