indian cricket 2021: 5 most notable achievements of the Indian cricket team in 2021

So another year is coming to an end. 2021 is a happy ending for Indian cricket fans. This is due to the historic victory in the first Test against South Africa at Centurion yesterday. Overall, 2021 was a not-so-bad year for Indian cricket, especially in Tests and ODIs. Team India reached the final of the inaugural World Test Championship against England at home and on home soil. The team has won two ODI series this year. Let’s take a look at the five notable victories of the Indian cricket team this year towards the end of 2021.

Victory in the GABA Test against Australia

The victory over Australia in Gaba was a landmark victory for the Indian team. India won the match without superstars Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Jaspreet Bumra. Giving India a 33-run lead in the first innings, India chased down their opponents by 294 runs in the second innings and then chased down the target of 328 by 7 wickets. Indian fans will never forget Australia’s unbeaten run in the Gabba for 35 years.

Victory at Centurion

The win over South Africa in the Centurion Test yesterday was also one of India’s most notable performances this year. It was also Team India’s first Test victory at the Centurion, South Africa’s stronghold. KL Rahul’s century in the first innings and pace bowlers in both innings were the key to the team’s success.

Victory over England in Chennai

Despite winning the home Test, the Chennai Test is one of India’s notable victories. Because if India had lost the first match of the series and lost this match too, their chances of winning the series would have ended. In the Chennai Test, the team defeated England by 317 runs. Encouraged by this victory, India went on to win the four-match series 3-1.

Victory in the Lord’s Test against England

Winning a Test at Lord’s, known as the mecca of cricket, is every captain’s dream. Indian captain Virat Kohli has made that dream come true this time. India gave up a 27 – run first – innings lead in the match, scoring 298 in the second innings to extend England’s target of 272 for victory. However, England were bowled out for just 120 in the second innings before conceding 151 runs.

Every win on the Sri Lankan tour

India toured Sri Lanka this year with their second tier squad as seven key Indian players, including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, were on a tour of England. Under Shikhar Dhawan, the team won the ODI series 2-1 and won the first match of the T20 series. Had Kovid not been caught in the team camp during the T20 series, India would have set a better record in Sri Lanka. Whatever the victories of India with their second tier team in Sri Lanka, fans will not soon forget.
