Why India are unbeatable at home: 3 key stats before T20 World Cup 2026

India will enter the T20 World Cup 2026 as one of the strongest contenders, carrying both confidence and expectation as the defending champions. The thrilling victory over South Africa in the 2024 final marked India’s second T20 World Cup triumph which reinforced their growing dominance in the shortest format.

As preparations continue for the upcoming edition, the Men in Blue will aim not only to defend their title but also to further cement their status as the most formidable T20 side, especially in home conditions. India’s claim as favourites is strongly backed by numbers. Over the years, they have produced some extraordinary records in T20 cricket, consistently outclassing opponents. 

Here are three stats that prove India are unbeatable at home

Unbeaten in bilateral T20I series since the 2024 World Cup

Since lifting the T20 World Cup in 2024, India have not lost a single bilateral T20I series. They have featured in eight such series and emerged victorious in all of them, often with commanding margins. The  run is even more impressive because of the quality of opposition.

India have dominated top sides like England, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka, applying relentless pressure from the very first match of each series. This unbeaten streak from the 2024 World Cup has only grown stronger which shows remarkable consistency.
