Team India T20I Performance in 2024: India has had an action-packed T20I season in 2024, playing matches across the globe and delivering a mix of thrilling victories and occasional defeats. Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024 on June 29 this year, ending the wait of over a decade to lift the ICC trophy.
