India failed to qualify for the final of Asi Cup 2022. This was right before the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022. Kohli and Rohit were both heard speaking how this tournament was a prep ground for the World Cup ahead. Same sort of approach is being seen as we approach the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 too. (Image: ANI)

India made to an ICC final, the only one in Dravid's tensure so far. But the Men in Blue were outplayed by a strong Australian outfit. This was India's second successive loss in the WTC final after they had failed to win it in 2021. (Image: ANI)

Lost T20 World Cup 2022

Lost T20 World Cup 2022

India failed to book a spot in the T20 World Cup 2022, getting blown away by England in the semi-final. Billed as one of the favourites to win the tournament, India never looked a dominant side throughout the competition. Not playing Yuzvendra Chahal, India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is, in even one match shocked a lot of people. (Image: ANI)
