India's highly successful year ended with a Twenty20 International victory against Sri Lanka at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Sunday (December 24). The team's first win of the year had come against England on January 15 in Pune.
It was a record-setting year for Virat Kohli-led India where they won 37 matches across the formats. Most wins came in One Day Internationals - 21. India's 37 victories is only second to world record (for most wins in a calendar year) of 38 set by Australia in 2003.
Barring the final limited-overs series against Sri Lanka this month, Kohli led the side in all matches. Rohit Sharma was the captain for ODIs and T20Is against the islanders as Kohli opted for a break due to his marriage with Anushka Sharma, which was on December 11 in Italy.
This year, India achieved a rare "tour wash" when they won all the matches in Sri Lanka. They beat the home team 3-0 in Tests, 5-0 in ODIs and 1-0 in T20Is.
For India, the year 2018 will commence in South Africa as they face them in the opening Test of the three-match series in Cape Town on January 5.
