Former India player turned commentator Aakash Chopra has said the significance of the Indian team’s Test series win against the West Indies as well. He also added that the importance of the full points gained from the two-match home series will be helpful in the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.

During a discussion on Star Sports, Chopra said, “You have won this series with 100 percent points, but the truth is that you are still in the third spot. Since in the last series, you won two, lost two, and one was drawn, you lost a lot of points. If you look at it from that perspective, your next contest is against the World Test champions. These are early days, and the bigger the lead you take in the early days, you don’t feel its importance at that time, but when you come close to qualifying, you realize how important the home win was.”

However, Aakash Chopra also added that the Test series win against the West Indies had to be achieved even though it an easy task as well.

“You get stuck due to one point at times. At times, you get stuck due to slow over-rate. If you look at it from that perspective, and we showed that India and South Africa have won 10 consecutive series, and Australia have also won nine consecutive series against this team, they have remained undefeated for 20-odd years, it’s an easy job, but that also needs to be done. You have to hit a four even if someone bowls a full toss. It seems easy, but they took it to a conclusion very well, and there are many positives for the next series, in my opinion,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
