India and Australia have managed to qualify for the World Test Championship final. Both teams have had great performances. The Indian cricket team has relied on cumulative batting performances. They struggled to get into the single performances, but they managed to do it as a team. In the bowling department, it was the trio of Ashwin, Axar, and Jaddu that did the job for them.
In the case of the Australian cricket team, it was the batters. Marnus, Steve Smith, Travis Head, and Usman Khawaja batted like never before. It will be a treat to watch these two teams battle it out in the final.

Joe Root is Top Run Getter:
Joe Root, the phenomenal England batter has ended as the top run-getter. He scored runs for England even when they were having a dreadful Ashes series. He was their main man in the India tour of England as well. Root did most of the scoring for the English team in the initial stage of the tournament before he was removed from the leadership role. In the Bazzball-era too, he has been a consistent performer. He has relied on his technical skill to attack the opposition in the newfound approach in the World Test Championship.
