India is arguably the strongest cricketing nation currently, with a great bench strength. They have consistently been performing not just in the bilateral but have been a force to reckon with in the ICC tournaments as well.
Since 2011, India has reached the semifinals of all the ICC tournaments, barring the 2012 & 2021 T20 World Cup, and didn’t reach the final of the WTC 2023-25 cycle. In this phase, the Men in Blue has won three titles, the joint most along with Australia.
With India set to play another ICC final in the coming days, in this article, we will explore more about India’s record in ICC knockout games over the years.
