In 2023, the Indian men's cricket team continued a familiar pattern—consistent performances in bilateral series but falling short on crucial final days. The year saw India participating in two significant tournaments, the World Test Championships (WTC) final and the ODI World Cup 2023 final, both resulting in losses as Australia emerged victorious.

What to look forward to in Indian cricket in 2024?

India can end the ICC trophy draught? June will mark the 11th year since India last secured a major ICC tournament victory, and they will have another opportunity to break the drought at the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Return of Rishabh Pant: It has been over a year since fans saw Rishabh Pant in action. There is anticipation that the left-handed batter from Delhi will be looking to make his comeback during the IPL and, hopefully, don the colours of the Indian cricket team once again thereafter.

Indian captaincy: With Mumbai Indians appointing Hardik Pandya as their captain, replacing Rohit Sharma, there is speculation that Team India might also be in search of a new skipper to lead Indian cricket in 2024.
