New Delhi: The T20 World Cup 2026 was a tournament of several firsts and incredible numbers for India. With their third T20 World Cup title, Team India wrote another golden chapter in their rich cricketing history on Sunday.
After crushing New Zealand by 96 runs in the final on Sunday, the Men in Blue not only became the first team to win three T20 World Cups but also became the first to defend the world title and first to win it on home soil.

Smashing Records: India’s unrivalled performance in the last two years
Team India’s remarkable performance was a testament to its preparation and hard work, which began right after the 2024 title win and culminated in a historic win at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
Remarkable numbers that prove India is cut above the rest in white-ball cricket
Since the 2023 ODI World Cup final defeat to Australia, India have lost just one match in multilateral tournaments, which include the 2024 T20 World Cup, the 2025 Champions Trophy, the 2025 Asia Cup and the 2026 T20 World Cup.
In total 40 matches (multilateral tournaments) during this period, India have lost just twice – in the 2023 ODI World Cup final, and the Super Eight match against South Africa in the 2026 T20I World Cup.
If we talk only about T20Is, India, since the start of 2024, have lost only seven out of the 52 matches with an incredible win percentage of 85 per cent.
India’s global white-ball domination across all levels
India’s white-ball supremacy extends way beyond the men’s senior team. In the last two years, India have been unstoppable at the ICC events across men’s, women’s and age-level cricket.
Since 2024, India have claimed six world titles, including the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, the 2025 Men’s Champions Trophy, 2025 Women’s World Cup, 2025 U-19 Women’s World Cup, 2026 U-19 Men’s World Cup and 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup.
The remarkable stats showcase the unparalleled supremacy of Indian cricket in the white-ball game.
With the next ICC event, the 50-over World Cup, scheduled in 2027, India have set their sights on becoming the first team to have all three ICC titles at the same time.
