3 T20 World Cup records India can set in 2026
Defending champions and co-hosts India head into the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 with confidence and form, making them strong contenders to shatter multiple tournament records.
1. First team to win three T20 World Cups
India stand on the brink of history as they eye the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, with the chance to become the first team ever to win three titles in the tournament’s history. Currently, India share the record for most T20 World Cup wins with England and West Indies, having lifted the trophy twice (2007 and 2024). Notably, no team has managed a third title across nine editions so far.
The Suryakumar Yadav-led team has looked dominant in the format, recently clinching a seven-wicket win over New Zealand in the second T20I at Raipur. Chasing a target of 209, India equalled their highest successful T20I chase, sealing victory in just 15.2 overs despite losing both openers early. Since the last World Cup, India has won 22 T20Is and is riding high on form and confidence entering the competition.
