I absolutely agree. Preparation is a big part of any team to be able to be successful in any competition. India was more concerned about the IPL. If India was concerned about the world test championship final they’re going to have at least done better compared to what they did. But that’s understandable. Because the IPL is the biggest tournament in cricket after the world cup. But the performance of India in the final against Australia was absolutely horrible. And I expected better from India in that match. And of course, let’s not say that India lost because the decisions went against them. That is just a part of cricket.
As a matter of fact, the BCCI doesn't benefit much from the WTC finals. The tournament is being organized by the ICC, and all the revenues (including gate collection) goes to the ICC coffers. IPL is not like that. The BCCI directly benefits from the IPL revenues. So it makes sense for the BCCI to give higher priority for the IPL, rather than the WTC final. Still the ICC should not complain much. Since India featured in the finals, the TV and OTT rights holders are happy. The got a big boost in the form of subscription and advertisement revenues. If India had failed to qualify for the finals, then they would be in trouble.
