India's Resurgence: From T20 Triumphs to Global Cricket Governance

India ended their 11-year title drought by winning the T20 World Cup under Rohit Sharma's leadership. Their refusal to tour Pakistan has impacted the Champions Trophy. Jay Shah has become the ICC chairman. Despite ups and downs, India's influence in global cricket remains strong.

India's cricketing fortunes changed dramatically this year as the nation ended an 11-year title drought by clinching the T20 World Cup. Under the strategic captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India remained unbeaten through the tournament, eventually defeating England and South Africa with commanding performances.

However, diplomatic tensions have arisen due to India's decision not to tour Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy, leaving the organizational future of the tournament uncertain. Jay Shah, now at the helm of the International Cricket Council, faces the dual challenge of navigating these geopolitical hurdles while maintaining the integrity of international cricket schedules.

Despite their World Cup victory, India's cricket journey wasn't devoid of setbacks. They faced significant challenges in the Test arena, highlighted by a surprising defeat against New Zealand. Yet, new stars like Yashasvi Jaiswal have emerged, offering hope for India's consistent performance and future cricketing success.
