For fans, following Team India’s journey is about going through a swirl of emotions.
With the global cricket calendar which is now busier than ever, India finds itself at the heart of the action. Between the test series, ICC tournaments, and the IPL, there is rarely a month where Indian players are not showing off their blue jersey or the whites. Each match offers us a fresh chapter in the story of Indian cricket, whether it’s the aggression of the young ones in T20Is, the consistency in ODIs, or the patience in Test matches played across challenging conditions worldwide.
No matter if you’re a die-hard fan who never misses a ball or a casual follower looking to stay updated, this blog post will guide you in everything you need to know about India’s cricketing journey in the coming months.

India’s tour of Australia during December 2024 and January 2025 has proved to be one of the toughest challenges for our Indian team. The Test match in Melbourne saw Australia win by securing a great victory with 184 runs. Even with India’s utmost efforts, the hosts with its home conditions executed their strategies perfectly. The final Test at Sydney was no different, with Australia clinching the match by six wickets. Though the results did not favor India, the series highlighted the grit of the Indian players and gave them valuable exposure ahead of the long cricketing season.
The action shifted back to India in January 2025 when England arrived for a thrilling T20I series. The opening encounter at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata set the tone as India chased down England’s total with ease, winning by seven wickets. The second T20I in Chennai was a nail-biting contest, where the Indian middle order held its nerves to seal a narrow two-wicket win. This back-to-back success gave India the series lead, and the atmosphere among fans was electric, with hope that the team would deliver a clean sweep in front of their passionate home supporters.
England struck back in the third T20I at Rajkot, reminding everyone of their white-ball strength. Their disciplined bowling attack restricted India’s scoring opportunities, and despite a spirited effort by India’s top order, the hosts fell short by 26 runs. The series ended 2-1 in India’s favor, giving them a morale boost before the upcoming ODI and Test fixtures. The balance between victories and lessons learned in these matches showcased the adaptability of the Indian side, while also highlighting areas that required attention, especially in handling pressure during decisive encounters against top-ranked opponents.
With recent results showcasing India’s strength and upcoming fixtures promising high-voltage contests, fans have much to look forward to. From home dominance to challenging overseas tours and global ICC events, Team India is ready to entertain and inspire.
So, mark your calendars and prepare to cheer for the Men in Blue as they aim for glory across formats in the months to come.
I’ve added the recent results and a clear timetable of India’s upcoming series into the blog. Do you also want me to include a match-by-match fixture list (with exact dates and venues) for each series as they’re announced, or should I keep it at the series level?
