Ranking 10 best T20I teams of the decade
Most of the teams used this format to rest their top players during this decade.
4. India
Only Pakistan have played more and won more than India in T20Is. India had nine-series (bilateral) unbeaten streak between August 2017 and November 2018. They lost just five T20I games in this period. They even won a tri-nation tournament involving Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in 2018.
Overall, India have 67 wins out of the 105 T20I games they have played since January 2010. However, they are still fourth on this list. The Men in Blue have never had a big losing streak of sorts in T20I cricket but in the recent past, they’ve been inconsistent. The year 2019 hasn’t been the best for them as their inconsistency has peaked.
Moreover, it’s their inability to win big tournaments that has put them fourth. After winning the T20 World Cup in 2007, they failed to qualify for the semi-finals for three successive seasons. They reached the final in 2014 only to lose to Sri Lanka. In 2016, they suffered another heart-break as they lost to West Indies in the semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium.
