India captain Virat Kohli shared on Wednesday that points for an away test win in the World Test Championship should be doubled. He further said that the ongoing edition has set the bar so high in the longest format of the game. Right now, a team gets 120 points if they clean sweep a series, no matter whether it’s a two-match series or five-match series at home or away basis.

“If you would have asked me to make the points table, I would give double the points for an away Test win. That is something I would definitely like to see may be after first edition,” Virat Kohli replied when asked about the prevailing points system of the World Championship.

India are currently leading the points table with 160 points, as they won the West Indies series by 2-0 in their backyard and 40 points gained from the 203-run win in the first Test against South Africa at home. Kohli further shared that every team plays to win now a days and not for a draw.

“Look, the importance of every game has become that much more. In earlier situations, in a three-match series, you probably would have played out a draw, but teams are going to go for wins and get those extra points. So, I think it’s great for Test cricket,” Kohli said.

“The matches are going to be that much more exciting is what we all feel and already experienced that. We have to be professional in every session that we play. It will be much more demanding on the players now, which is a good thing as it will keep the standard of Test cricket high. These are the only things that we have experienced so far in terms of changes,” Kohli concluded.
