Team India has created history after winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. With a remarkable performance throughout the tournament, India not only lifted the trophy but also achieved several historic milestones that had never been accomplished in the history of the T20 World Cup.

India’s journey in the 10th edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup was outstanding. The team showed consistent performance during the group stage and continued its dominance in the knockout matches.

Out of the eight matches played in the tournament, India won seven games and suffered only one defeat against South Africa. With a balanced combination of explosive batting, disciplined bowling, and experienced leadership, the Indian national cricket team emerged as the most dominant side in the tournament.
