The Indian team had a good year as they played a good brand of cricket throughout and ended up winning a few tournaments. 2018 was always going to be tough for the Indian team as they were scheduled to tour South Africa, England and Australia in the year and Virat Kohli and his men, though lost the series in South Africa and England, gave a lot of good memories as they played a fearless brand of cricket throughout and challenged the opposition in their own backyard.
After losing the Test series in South Africa and England, India ended the year on a high as they took an unassailable 2-1 lead in the ongoing four-match Test series against Australia.
