The third edition of the WTC has seen some thrilling contests. From India's strong performance against England to the West Indies' dramatic win at The Gabba, the tournament has been full of surprises.
Currently, India, led by Rohit Sharma, sits at the top of the WTC table with a point percentage of 68.51. Australia and New Zealand follow in second and third place, respectively.
Going forward, it will be interesting to see if Jaiswal can maintain his lead or if Root and others will overtake him. Team India is currently on tour of Sri Lanka, playing a 3 match T20I series, which will be followed by a 3 match ODI series.
India's next WTC match is against Bangladesh, who will be touring India in September for a 2 match test series. The first Test will be played from September 19.
