Team India’s journey through the ICC T20 World Cup has been nothing short of an evolution of adaptation. From lifting the maiden T20 World Cup title in the inaugural edition in 2007, till the 2024 T20 World Cup, India’s squads reflect the progress the team has seen in the shortest format, bringing in the right combination of emerging talents along with the established stars.
Not only this, but the players have also amped up their game to meet the demands of conditions, opposition, as well as the format, thus putting up defining moments, and some breakout performances. While some players became instant heroes, some saw heartbreak as well, but every squad played a key role in the legacy that stands today.
