India's international cricket schedule 2020: Kohli & Co face yet another challenging year
India to tour Australia for ICC T20 World Cup 2020 in October and November. Team India will then defend their Border-Gavaskar Trophy title 'Down Under'.
India defeated West Indies in Cuttack on December 22 to end 2019 on a high note. With the win, the ‘Men in Blue’ registered yet another ODI series win and continued their fine-run in all international formats of the game. Among other highlights from the year, India also registered a Test series win in Australia, marking their first-ever triumph ‘Down Under’.
Team India’s international schedule in 2020
Team India under Virat Kohli suffered a major setback when their 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup campaign was derailed in the semi-final. On a brighter note, India’s Test team did well throughout the year as they continue to top the ICC Test team rankings. Under Virat Kohli’s leadership, India also leads the ICC World Test Championship points table with a perfect 360 points after three series.
