Team India did not have a fruitful 2022 season. Despite being full of superstars, the Men in Blue lost in two big tournaments – Asia Cup and T20 World Cup – attracting criticism from all corners. Though, India maintained their bilateral supremacy by defeating England, South Africa, and Australia at home.
Now in the year 2023, Team India will have two chances to end their title drought, as the Asia Cup and the highly anticipated 50-over World Cup will take place this year. The Men in Blue will also play numerous bilateral matches to finalize their selection for the main events. Further, India also have a chance to win the World Test Championship (WTC) final as they are prime contenders to play the summit clash.
