Indian cricket team’s performance in 2025: achievements and shortcomings

New Delhi: The year 2025 was full of mixed experiences for the Indian cricket team. During this period, the team achieved some historic achievements, while also facing disappointment on many occasions. With the new year, the Indian team and its millions of fans are preparing to move ahead with the memories of the last year. This year, India’s performance in ODI and T-20 cricket was excellent, while the team had to face some challenges in Test cricket.

Disappointing performance in test cricket

In the year 2025, the Indian team played a total of 10 test matches. Out of these, India won 4 matches, while faced defeat in 5 matches. One test was a draw. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 ended this year, with India losing against Australia by 6 wickets. After this, under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the team ended the 5-match Test series on England tour with a 2-2 draw, which was a relief for India. At home, India won the series 2–0 against West Indies, but a 0–2 defeat in the home Test series against South Africa disappointed the fans.

India’s dominance in ODI cricket

The year 2025 was particularly successful for India in the ODI format. The team played 14 ODI matches this year, out of which it won 11 and lost 3. The biggest achievement of this year was winning the Champions Trophy 2025 title. In the final, India won the trophy by defeating New Zealand by 4 wickets. Additionally, India won the ODI series against England 3–0 and against South Africa 2–1. However, India suffered a 1-2 defeat in the ODI series against Australia.

Great performance in T-20 also

The Indian team also performed brilliantly in T-20 cricket in 2025. Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, India played 21 T20 matches, winning 16 matches, losing only 3, while 2 matches remained without result. This year, India also won the T-20 Asia Cup 2025, which was an important achievement for the team. India defeated England 4-1, Australia 2-1 and South Africa 3-1. The special thing was that the Indian team did not lose any T-20 series in 2025.

Fans have new expectations from the team in the new year

Overall, the year 2025 was full of ups and downs for the Indian team. The need for improvement was clearly visible in Test cricket, while India made its strength felt in ODI and T-20. In the new year, fans hope that the Indian team will perform even better in every format.
