The team held the reign for the most wins in history for a long time, but the situation in the World Cup was just as bad.

New Delhi:

With the final of the T20 World Cup (T20 World Cup 2024) played in Barbados, West Indies on Saturday, the format achieved another milestone. After the inaugural World Cup in 2007, India achieved the honor of becoming champions for the second time after almost 17 years. Along with this, Team India is the boss not only of the T20 World Cup but also of the entire edition by registering the highest number of wins in the last 17 years. In the first seven years, India’s position was worse in terms of record maximum wins. Its status was not as per the name, but something happened in the last ten years that Team India became a rocket in this regard and beat everyone.

This was the condition of India in the early years.

The international T20 format also started in the year 2007. If any country in the world opposed T20 the most, it was India. In the year 2007, India was at the fourth position in terms of most wins. He had 6 wins this year. Pakistan (8) is first, Australia (7) second, South Africa (7) third. New Zealand (5) fifth, Sri Lanka (5) sixth, Bangladesh (3) seventh, England (3) eighth, West Indies (2) ninth and Zimbabwe (1) tenth.

India gained momentum from 2014

As the series progressed, arch-rivals Pakistan jumped to the number one team in the world in 2014 with 50 wins, while India remained at number seven with 30 wins. The world was laughing at the team that won the World Cup in 2007, but since 2015, India has floundered and is stuck at number one. In 2015, India moved up one place to sixth with 44 wins. The gap widened in 2016 and Team India moved to the third position with 50 wins, but Pakistan remained the number one team in the world with 67 wins.

And now India is the boss of T20 but…

As of 2024, India was ranked seventh in the world in terms of most wins in 2014, now ten years later, India is the number one team in the world with 146 wins, while Pakistan (142) is second. New Zealand (111) third, Australia (105) fourth, South Africa (103) fifth, England (100) sixth, West Indies (88) seventh, Sri Lanka (86) eighth, Afghanistan (83) ninth. Ireland (71) is 10th, Bangladesh (68) 11th and Netherlands (54) 12th. At the same time, in this regard, Pakistan, who had reigned for many years, fared so badly in the World Cup that the team did not even make it to the Super-8 round.
