India has not won an ICC championship since 2013, however, they have consistently advanced to the knockout stage. India have named a formidable lineup for the T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma was selected as the team’s captain, and Virat Kohli was also included in the roster.
India was defeated by eventual champions England in a dominating one-sided match in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Before that, India failed to make it into the playoffs stage of the T20 World Cup 2021. India had also made it into the final of the T20 World Cup in 2014 and in the semi-final in 2016.
