T20 World Cup: India's all-time best XI

The ninth edition of the T20 World Cup will be played in the West Indies. India, who won the inaugural T20 World Cup held in South Africa, will look to clinch the coveted trophy and quench their thirst for the title. After 2007, the Men in Blue came close to winning the trophy again in 2014, qualifying for the final. However, Sri Lanka held their nerves on the big day and shattered India’s dreams.

In 2024, their endeavours will be to showcase their best under Rohit Sharma and lift the trophy again. Indian cricket team supporters witnessed a lot of spectacular performances in eight editions of the ICC tournament and now, it’s essential to handpick the best players and prepare India’s best XI of all time.

Here's India’s all-time best XI in T20I World Cup history:

1. Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma will be seen captaining the side in the 2024 World Cup. The stylish right-handed batter has been a part of India’s every T20 World Cup campaign. In the 2022 edition of the tournament, he captained the team and under his leadership, India ended their journey in the semi-final.

Rohit has played the most games for India in the marquee T20 tournament and is also the second-leading run-getter for the nation. The veteran has played 39 matches and has scored 963 runs in 36 innings at a strike rate of 127.88. Back in 2007, when India beat Pakistan in the final by five runs, Rohit contributed to the team with his valuable unbeaten innings of 30 runs off just 16 deliveries.
