Despite missing out on selection for the Afghanistan series due to injury, India's Suryakumar Yadav is still occupying the top spot in the ICC T20I batting rankings with 869 ratings.
The BCCI announced India's 16-man squad for the first two of the five-match Test series against England starting January 25 in Hyderabad. 22-year-old wicketkeeper batter Dhruv Jurel getting the maiden international call-up in the squad was the biggest news regarding the Test team announcement.
Team India made short work of a 159-run target in the first T20I against Afghanistan, winning the series opener with 15 balls to spare. Shivam Dube and Axar Patel starred for the Men in Blue as India took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
India defeated Australia 4-1 in the recently concluded five-match T20I series with a thrilling six-run win in the final match in Bengaluru. Axar Patel was the hero for India yet again as his all-round skills came to the fore for the men in blue.
Indian pacers Mukesh Kumar and Arshdeep Singh came up with a strong show at the death to defend a low total in Bengaluru to guide the Men in Blue to another win in the ongoing five-match series against Australia. India clinched the series 4-1, first for Suryakumar Yadav the captain.
Indian management made four changes to their playing eleven for the fourth game with Shreyas Iyer making his return and recorded a 20-run win to seal the five-match series. India are likely to make further changes to their playing XI for the last game in Bengaluru on Sunday.
After blowing hot and cold in the first three matches of the series, Axar Patel stormed back with a Player of the Match performance in the fourth T20I against Australia. It felt like Axar was motivated to perform on Friday in Raipur after being snubbed from the squad for South Africa T20 series.
Axar Patel turned out to be India's go-to bowler who turned the fourth T20I in India's favour and helped the Men in Blue clinch the series.
Indian bowlers stormed back in style after leaking runs in the previous match as the Men in Blue defended a 174-run score in the fourth T20I to take a 3-1 unassailable lead against Australia. Rinku Singh starred with the bat while Axar Patel did the job with the ball taking three wickets.
Team India gave away 43 runs in the last two overs as Australia stayed alive in the five-match T20 series in the third match in Guwahati. One of the critical moments in the penultimate over was when a stumping review by Ishan Kishan became a no-ball out of nowhere and Wade and Maxwell utilised it.
After performing brilliantly in the 2023 Asia Cup and the home ODI series against Australia, Team India will now enter the field with full confidence in the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023.
