ICC T20 WORLD CUP: A Moment to Cherish.

The best moment of this year for Indian cricket was on June 29 when India lifted the T20 World Cup after 17 years, defeating South Africa in the final. 

Overall, this was a great year for India in the T20 format, but the team's continuous defeats in the test format are a concern. While for the 50-over format, India should play more ODI games, as the team played only three matches this year.
