Lord's win and then that celebration was the best cricketing moment for me for a long long time.

Honorable mention goes to Braithwaite's 4 sixes in the world T20 final.
 
Pakistan v England Test series.

Emergence of Babar Azam.

Amirs Spell V India

Sharjeel Khans Batting in wt20 and PSL.
 
Amir's resurgence and reintroduction in the game.

I think the sad manner of our exit in World T20 and the recriminations for/against Waqar are the sad bits
 
1st test vs England
4th test vs England
Maxwell century vs Sri Lanka
Braithwaithe 4sixes
Bangladesh beating England
Younis double vs England
Quinton 178 vs Australia
 
the Lords win
Kohli against Aus in the T20 WC that was an epic knock.
West Indies knocking out India in the T20 WC

Younis Double vs England.
 
1st test vs England
4th test vs England
Maxwell century vs Sri Lanka
Braithwaithe 4sixes
Bangladesh beating England
Younis double vs England
Quinton 178 vs Australia

De Kock's knock was a fluke.
 
The 2 Test wins in England were fantastic occasions.

The celebrations at Lord's were something special also. Thoroughly enjoyable moments.
 
In no order
1) Braithwaite's last over heroics
2) Pakistan reaching number 1 and the victories at Lords and Oval
3) Amir's spell vs India in Asia Cup
4) South Africa demolishing Australia
5) Bangladesh beating England
6) England winning in South Africa
7) Amir's comeback
8) Afghanistan beating West Indies
9) McCullum breaking record in last match
10) Sri Lanka 3-0 Australia
 
Brathwaite's final over WT20 tops it for me
Virat's effort vs Aus in WT20
Pak's 4th innings at Gabba
 
1)Kohli vs Australia and that crucial 49 vs Pakistan at the Asia Cup
2) Bangladesh Choke
3)Pakistan's celebration at Lords
4)Braithwaite at T20 final
5)Karun Nair's 300
6)India's loss at the T20 WC Semi final
 
It got to be Lords test and Misbah century for me as a Pak fan.
Brathwaite's last over heroics overall .

virat's single handed chase against AUS in wt20. making of a legend.
amitabh bachchan's national anthem before ind pak at the same tournament.
india bangladesh asia cup match and that last pandya over ;)
absolute test domination. too many moments. most of them involved ashwin's bowling. capped off by absolute drubbing of eng. the last two days were a perfect way to finish. ran them ragged in the field on day four with nair's 300 and knocked em over on day 5 thanks to a Sir Jadeja special.
finally, realising how special this current india team is.

those two wins against pak weren't bad either! and of course- misbah's press ups!

i might be missing a couple but these stand out. all in all, a pretty good year to be an India fan

India beating England 4-0 is right up there, still remembered, that teletubbies comment from Botham and knackered fans comment from scyld berry, even though they were facing an injured, over the hill test team, more so because India won it the hard earned way, lost four tosses, England scoring 400 runs on two occasions and yet we managed to convert those 400's into 2 innings victory, also each game the margin has gone better, most importantly youngsters stepping in, apart from this, banglacricket indiaa match, pak Australia gabba, Braithwaite heroics in the final.
