Most Test losses in 2024: The Indian cricket team is currently under the scanner. Everyone is criticizing Team India after the big defeat in Melbourne Test. Team India, which started the Australia tour with a win, is now in danger of defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Team India is currently behind 1-2 in the 5-match series and to avoid defeat in the series, it will have to win the Sydney Test at any cost, otherwise the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) to be held at Lord’s in June next year. The dream of going in will be shattered.
The year 2024 is about to end and in such a situation it becomes necessary to assess the performance of Team India. From the point of view of Test cricket, this year was very bad for Team India. The performance of Team India, which won the T20 World Cup title this year, was very poor not only in Tests but also in ODIs. Team India could not win a single ODI match in the year 2024. This happened after 45 years in the history of India’s ODI cricket, when the team could not win a single ODI match in any calendar year.
This was the performance of Team India in the year 2024
Team India started the year 2024 with a Test victory on the South Africa tour. After losing the first test, Team India was successful in leveling the 2-match series 1-1. After this, the England team came to India and created a big upset by defeating Team India in the very first test match. However, after this, Team India won the 5-match Test series 4-1 by winning 4 consecutive matches. After giving a crushing defeat to England, in September, the Indian team made a 2-0 clean sweep of Bangladesh in the 2-match Test series and showed how difficult it is to overcome Team India at home. However, what happened after the Bangladesh series had never happened before with the Indian cricket team at home. Team India had to face a clean sweep in the 3-match Test series against New Zealand and for the first time had to face such a bad defeat at home. Even after this, Team India’s losing streak continued.
