Team India did not have a successful 2022 season. The star-studded team lost in two big tournaments, eliciting widespread criticism. While Team India maintained its bilateral supremacy by defeating England in white-ball matches, South Africa, and Australia at home, the Men in Blue stumbled in important events such as the Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup 2022.
However, Team India will have two chances to end their title drought in 2023, as the Asia Cup 2023 and the highly anticipated 50-over World Cup 2023 are on the card. The Men in Blue will have numerous opportunities in the shape of bilateral matches to finalize their selection for the main events.
