The 3-0 clean-sweep has significantly impacted India's path to the WTC final in 2025. However, they remain in the running for qualification. With five Tests remaining before the WTC final, Rohit Sharma & Co. must win four out of five Tests during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia to secure their place in the final on their own terms.
On the other hand, New Zealand must win all three of their remaining home Tests against England to maintain their chances of competing in the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 final.
