Yearend 2022: India is done and dusted for the year in cricket. On the same note, we look back at India's performance in Tests across the year.
Team India has completed its stint for the calendar year of 2022. It had a decent performance throughout the year across formats. Although it did not succeed in the limited-overs sector, missing out on a couple of major titles, it did have acceptable performance in the Test circuit. It remains in the race for the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 final, set to be held next year, with just a series of four Tests against Australia at home. As India has managed to finish 2022 on a high, especially in the longest game format, we look back at its performance in this format and present its best performers and performances.
