The English were in India for a lengthy home series from November 2016 to February 2017. The tour involved 5 test matches, 3 ODIs and 3 T20 matches.
India’s performance in the test series was once again phenomenal, resulting in a 4-0 win for the hosts in a 5 match series. Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin were once again the best with outstanding 655 runs and 28 wickets respectively.
India then won both the 3-match ODI series and the 3-match T20 series, with Kedar Jadhav adding 232 runs in the one-day series.
India beat Bangladesh in the only home Test in February, followed by India hosting Australia in the February–March 2017 season for a 4 match Test series. The hosts emerged victorious, 2-1 in the test series, in which Ravinder Jadeja’s tally stood at 25 wickets.
India was in the mighty West Indies for a one-day 5-match series in June-July 2017, which India won 3-1. Ajinkya Rahane had a phenomenal 336 race tally in the series.
But wait, it only gets better.

Again, when India played host to the Australian cricket team in the September/October 2017 season, the 5-match ODI series was rounded 4-1 in favor of the hosts. Hardik Pandya was praised for his outstanding performance in all aspects. Pandya made 222 runs at an average of 55.50 with 2 fiftys and earned 6 wickets in the series.
