Indian cricket Year in Review: A King reclaims his throne, yet the mother of all heartbreaks crushes a nation's dreams

Hindustan Times  

The Indian cricket team in 2023 was like that unfortunate student who passed all his class tests with flying colours, but failed in the main exams. Team India played the most outstanding cricket at the World Cup but it just wasn't supposed to be There's little doubt that 2023 was one of the best years witnessed in the history of Indian cricket. In his first real challenge - India's title-winning Asia Cup campaign, where Bumrahhad to bowl on Sri Lankan wickets, his vicious pace combined with probing banana swing set the tempo for India's win over Pakistan. Three ODI centuries in four innings – including a double hundred – and a T20I ton – ascended him to the status of 'Prince', and when he finished the IPL for Gujarat Titans with an Orange Cap winning campaign, he was deemed as the heir to Kohli in terms of being the next big thing in Indian cricket, but ever since the WTC final, something wasn't quite right. Rohit Sharma and Kohli – the two active legends of Indian cricket – who were yet to smile wholeheartedly since Nov. 19, had a chance to bring some of it back, but even that was taken away from there as India simply fell apart in Centurion, losing inside three days.
