India are one of the most successful teams in the history of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, having lifted the trophy twice, first in the inaugural edition in 2007 and then again in 2024. The 10th edition of the tournament is currently underway from February 7 to March 8, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
India have been placed in Group A, alongside Pakistan, Namibia, the Netherlands, and the United States of America. The Men in Blue enter the tournament as defending champions, having won the 2024 T20 World Cup by defeating South Africa in the final, which was co-hosted by the West Indies and the USA. A title win this time would make India three-time T20 World Cup champions, further cementing their dominance in the shortest format.
Major ICC tournaments are generally dominated by full-member nations, but associate teams have often produced memorable upsets. Over the years, teams such as the USA, Namibia, and the Netherlands have stunned established sides. In the 2024 edition, the USA defeated Pakistan in their maiden appearance, Namibia beat Sri Lanka in 2022, and the Netherlands famously knocked out England in 2009.
