India’s 2024 calendar year came to a agonising end as Rohit Sharma’s side tumbled in the Boxing Day Test, suffering a 184-run defeat against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday.
India thereby ended their 2024 calendar year with a bag of mixed results across formats with the T20I team shining the brightest. India lifted the T20 World Cup in June and finished with a commanding record of 22 wins from 26 matches. In their only ODI series of the year in Sri Lanka, India suffered a 2-1 defeat before finishing their Test season with eight wins, six losses and a draw in 15 matches.
Looking ahead to 2025, India will face Australia in the final Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Sydney from January 3. Here is a look at the complete schedule of the Indian men’s cricket schedule
