My only wish is that the selectors end their regressive mentality of just picking from a pre-defined list of existing players and recycling "has been" players and make some bold picks and drop old turds. All other items in my wishlist can be accomplished with this one change. Otherwise, every other wish is just wishful thinking.

India winning away series that goes without saying I guess now. Tests as well as ODI series.

 

Dhoni scoring 1000+ runs with couple of centuries in ODIs.

 

Smith breaching the immortality level of Bradman in Test Ranking(Crossing 961)

 

Triple century by one of the Indian Batsman in away series. Most likely chance is in Australia

 

50+ wickets by Shami & Bhuvi this year.

 

Indian fast bowler in the top 5 bowler ranking. Hopefully Shami or Bhuvi.

 

CSK winning IPL 2018.

  • To have a 6 team tournament in India where top 90-100 cricketers of india compete against each other , like a much proper n bigger version of challenger trophy . Have it in place of Useless series of WI or SL 
  • Send a young team to that tri nation t20 series in Lanka under Rohit captaincy . 
  • Few more India-A tours and it bloddy be telecasted
  • and the biggest of all- no trundler ever gets selected. Kaul n unadkat shud be remembered as the last dinosaurs of trundler dynasty

Too easy, everyone's no 1 wish will be that we do well overseas, duh. 

Some people like the process more than the results. So Everyone has different agendas.

Overseas tours are part of the bigger process. Results don't matter.

For example Ravi Bhai's wish for 2018 is that Rahul gets good rest this year as preparation for 2019 WC.
