New Delhi: It was a tough year for Indian cricket as it went through a transitory phase with the retirements of Rahul Dravid and V.V.S. Laxman - and Sachin Tendulkar's exit from One-Day Internationals (ODI). While bilateral cricket ties resumed with Pakistan after a gap of five years, the new year ahead looks tough for skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is under pressure following the team's poor performance in all versions of the game in 2012.
During the year, India failed to impress in significant Test, ODI or T20I series' and arrest the slide that started last year during the tour of England.
