If the series ends on 2-1

If the last test against Australia gets a draw result, then India’s PCT will be 59.0.Under the condition,India will have to expect that Sri Lanka fails to whitewash the Kiwis. As Sri Lanka can’t qualify if they get any other result except  a margin of 2-0.

If the series ends on 3-1

However, if  India gets victory in the last test, then they will be the last team to qualify for the World Test Championship finals.
