India Clinch ICC World Test Championship Title

India have been crowned ICC World Test Champions after a comprehensive victory over Australia at Lord's.

By SportBox Staff May 18, 2026

India have won the ICC World Test Championship for the second time, defeating Australia by 209 runs at Lord's to claim the coveted mace. Captain Rohit Sharma led from the front with a magnificent 154 in the first innings.

Jasprit Bumrah's devastating spell of swing bowling in the fourth innings proved too much for Australia. This victory cements India's status as the premier Test nation, having now won both WTC finals they have contested.

Virat Kohli, playing in what could be his final WTC final, contributed 89 runs across both innings and was visibly emotional at the presentation ceremony.
