    After winning two matches, the Rohit Sharma led Team India qualified for the Super 4. The performance of the Indian team in the Super 4 was quite disappointing though. First, Team India had to face defeat against Pakistan by 5 wickets and then in the very next match, Sri Lanka also defeated India by 6 wickets. The Indian team was able to pick up the win only against Afghanistan in the Super 4. All those 2 defeats felt like a bummer as India could have won the Asia Cup had they qualified for the final.

    T20 World Cup 2022 Semi-Final defeat against England

    The Indian team made a great start in the T20 World Cup 2022 as well. Seeing the performance of the Indian team, many people were very happy and everyone was expecting that this time they would win the trophy, but England did not let this happen.

    England destroyed India by 10 wickets in the semi-final match. The bowlers of Team India were a complete flop in that match and could not even take 1 wicket to their name. At the same time, Team India’s dream of winning the World Cup was also shattered.

    ODI series defeat against Bangladesh

    Three ODIs and two Test matches were played in this tour. In the ODI series, many people expected that the Indian team would perform very well but it did not happen. The Indian team could have easily won the first ODI but Mehidy Hasan Miraj, from Bangladesh, gave his team a 1-wicket win with his incredible batting.

    Bangladesh also won the second ODI by 5 runs. Despite being injured, Rohit Sharma played an unbeaten inning of 51 runs and won the hearts of all the people, although he could not win his team the match. Mehdi Hasan Miraj also scored a brilliant century in this match.

    Despite winning the third ODI, the series was already wrapped-up by the home team having already won the opening 2 matches of the 3 match.
