India will take on England in a five-match Test series starting on June 11. This Test series will also mark the start of the World Test Championship new cycle.

Abhinav Mukund Schools Fan Claiming India Centric Broadcast

The ongoing WTC 2025 will conclude with the ongoing final between Australia and South Africa. After a brilliant performance from Mitchell Starc with the bat, the South Africans have been set a target of 282 runs. During the third day of the WTC final, a fan complained about the Indian centric broadcast of the ongoing summit clash. He shared a clip of India's practice session, claiming the upcoming Test series between India and England is getting more limelight than the WTC final.

Abhinav Mukund who is a presenter with the broadcaster, clarified that a substantial amount of the pre-match show was dedicated towards the WTC final and only three minutes were focused on the India vs England series. He posted, "Hello Kartik, I was the one presenting the show. Yes, you are right, it is an Indian-centric broadcast with an eye on the tour of England. But there was Dale Steyn and Sanjay Bangar and out of the 20 minutes we had in the buildup only 3 minutes were about India's tour game. So please mention the right facts. Thank you."

WTC Final Looks To Be Evenly Poised

The WTC final has reached an interesting point, and South Africa can hope for something positive after enduring disappointment. It has been a low-scoring affair so far, as neither of the teams has managed to breach the 300 runs mark. Australia managed to post 212 and 207 respectively, leaving South Africa a target of 282 runs in the second innings. The Aussies rode on Mitchell Starc's brilliant half-century in the second innings after having another top-order failure. Aiden Marktam leads from the front as South Africa have made a poised start to the run chase, having lost just two wickets, adding 72 runs to the board.
