India’s 2024 came to a bitter end as Rohit Sharma’s side suffered a crushing defeat in the Boxing Day Test, suffering a 184-run defeat against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday.
In this way, India ended 2024 with its T20I team shining the brightest and achieving a variety of results across formats. India hosted the T20 World Cup in June and finished with an overwhelming record of 22 wins from 26 matches. In the only ODI series of the year played in Sri Lanka, India lost 1-2, ending the Test season with 8 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw from 15 matches.
Looking ahead to 2025, India is scheduled to face Australia in the final Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series to be played in Sydney starting January 3. The complete schedule for Indian men’s cricket is as follows:
