India’s dominance in T20I cricket has reached a level that demands serious attention. With their recent 3-0 series win over New Zealand, the team has now equalled Pakistan’s record of 11 consecutive T20I bilateral series victories. But beyond the number lies a deeper story of consistency, depth, and quiet control.

Since their last T20I series defeat against the West Indies in August 2023, India has gone unbeaten in the format. In this period, they have taken down a variety of opponents — some with full-strength squads, others testing newer line-ups — but the result has remained largely the same. The only exception was a drawn series against South Africa. Apart from that, India has managed to wrap up series after series, often with matches to spare.

This remarkable run also includes two major titles — the ICC T20 World Cup in 2024 and the Asia Cup in 2025. Those victories add weight to the bilateral dominance, showing that the team can perform both in short sprints and long tournaments.

What stands out even more is India’s performance at home. The team has now won ten consecutive T20I series on Indian soil, the highest ever by any Full Member nation. Since 2022, they have not lost a single T20I series at home. It’s a run that has quietly built momentum and created a sense of inevitability whenever India plays in familiar conditions. The previous best home streak was Australia’s eight, between 2006 and 2010.

India’s earlier record for most consecutive T20I series wins stood at seven, achieved between 2017 and 2018. That benchmark has now been surpassed convincingly, and the current streak feels far more sustainable. A key factor has been the team’s rotation strategy. By giving game time to younger players and managing the workload of seniors, India has created a deep bench, capable of adapting across formats and conditions.

With the next T20 World Cup fast approaching, India enter the tournament not just as defending champions, but as a side that has been winning consistently over an extended period. It’s not about a single hot streak. It’s about setting the standard.

This is no longer a phase. It’s the new normal for India in T20Is.
