All was not well with Indian cricket as the sport went through a disheartening year, both on-and-off the field.India, who had won the World Cup after 28 years in 2011 under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, failed to defend their title in March 2015, as they went down to hosts Australia in the semifinals by a big margin. Co-hosts Australia went on to clinch their fifth World title beating New Zealand.
