The Indian cricket team had a rollercoaster of a year in 2024, filled with moments of triumph, heartbreak, and transition.
1. Victory In ICC T20 World Cup
June 2024 saw the Indian cricket team crowned when they won the T20 World Cup, thus ending a dry period of 17 years.

In the final match against South Africa at Barbados, David Kohli scored a match-winning 76 in his farewell T20I against India. Such a victory was doused with tears as Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja played their last T20Is.

3. Rise of Youngsters
With the T20 World Cup victory, the new generation of stars began with youngsters like Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Abhishek Sharma. The veterans have to pass the torch to these players because they prove their potential by executing strong series against South Africa and Zimbabwe. This fresh pool of talent has kept Indian cricket dreaming.
4. Setback Against New Zealand
This three-Test series that India played against New Zealand turned out to be a sadly humiliating experience. The Kiwis outshone India on all counts and wiped out their unbeaten home record. This defeat stood as a reality check, and the need was felt more seriously towards being much more consistent in the longest format.
5. Test Win in Perth, Boxing Day Loss
That thrilling Test victory India achieved in Perth against Australia during their tour really has been a great testament to the resilience of the team. The Boxing Day Test at the MCG, though, brought nothing but let downs, with Australia handing India a heavy defeat. So this was the performance of the team, which was quite inconsistent when away from home.
