Virat Kohli, Virender Sehwag lead Indian cricket stars' New Year wishes on Twitter

The Indian cricket team had a marvellous 2019 in all the formats of the game barring the semi-final loss in the ICC Cricket World Cup against New Zealand. Team India commenced the year with a historic 2-1 series win over Australia 'Down Under', which also happened to be their first bilateral ODI series victory in the country. India followed it up with an ODI series (4-1) win in New Zealand over the hosts.

A grey patch followed as the team lost the T20I series in New Zealand before Australia won the T20I and ODI series against the Virat Kohli-led side in India. In the World Cup, India were favourites as they finished the league stage at the top of the standings before suffering a heartbreaking loss in the semi-final. But the Men in Blue were quick to make a comeback as the team won every game on the tour of West Indies.

The home season then started with a 1-1 draw in the T20I series against South Africa before India whitewashed the Proteas in the three-match Test series. Bangladesh suffered the same fate as they were whitewashed 2-0 in the Test series and lost the T20I series 2-1. West Indies gave India a run for their money but they too could not win the series and lost the T20Is and ODIs by a similar margin of 2-1. And as 2019 ended, the Indian cricketing fraternity wished the fans a Happy New Year 2020.
