India faced a harsh reality check in the World Cup year as they lost an ODI series at home for the first time since March 2019. Rohit Sharma’s men were beaten 2-1 in a 3-match ODI series by Australia after India failed to chase 270 in the series decider in Chennai on Wednesday, March 22.
India lost an ODI series to Bangladesh in December 2022 but they bounced back, clean-sweeping Sri Lanka and New Zealand at home in 3-match series at home.
