#1 India
The fans’ response was overwhelmingly in favour of the Indian team, with MS Dhoni & Co. receiving 73% of the votes.
Virat Kohli carried the Indian team like a superhero to the semis of the World T20, dishing out a domination rarely seen with such consistency by a single player. They started off the year with a 3-0 whitewash of the Australian team, following it with a 2-1 win against Sri Lanka in a one-off T20 series.
The Asia Cup win served as an ideal platform to go the whole hog in the World T20, but the juggernaut was stopped by eventual winners West Indies in the semi-finals. A series defeat in Florida, by the smallest of margins, was the only dent in an authoritative year that culminated with a 2-1 win against Zimbabwe. In 2015, they had played five T20Is, managing just a solitary win.
