The ICC T20 World Cup is slated to take place later this year in India, and all participating teams are gearing up for the gala tournament. T20 cricket has been dominating the cricket calendar in the past few years, resulting in the rise of many T20 specialists.

Hence, fans all across the world should brace themselves to witness some mind-boggling action in the marquee T20 competition. Hosts India are one of the front-runners to lift the title for various reasons. While they have a plethora of T20 stars thanks to the Indian Premier League (IPL), the home advantage is also in their favour.

Moreover, they have done exceptionally in the format lately, defeating England and Australia in their last two T20I series. Hence, a lot of expectations will be on Team India’s shoulders and they would not want to disappoint their fans. India have tasted glory in the T20 World Cup once, having won the inaugural edition of the competition in 2007.

The Men in Blue also advanced to the finals in 2014, while the 2016 tournament saw them reaching the semi-finals. India’s record in the tournament shows they have produced many T20 stars. That’s indeed the case as many dashing batsmen and spectacular bowlers have represented India in T20 World Cups.

In the article, we rank India&#8217;s top 10 match-winners in T20 World Cup history:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-384586" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Amit-Mishra.jpg" alt="Amit Mishra" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-384586" class="wp-caption-text">Amit Mishra.

The leg-spinner is regarded as one of the unluckiest Indian cricketers ever as he could never get a long run in the national team despite delivering regularly. Be it turning the ball or bowling deceptive googlies, Mishra possessed many weapons in his armoury through which he tormented some of the best batsmen in the world.

He was selected in India’s squad for the 2014 T20 World Cup, which took place in Bangladesh. Many eyebrows were raised when the then Indian captain MS Dhoni included Mishra in the playing XI alongside spin twins <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/posts/4583253335038685" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ravindra Jadeja</a> and Ravichandran Ashwin.

However, his decision proved to be spot on as the leg-spinner bowled some sensational spells in the competition. The leggie restricted the run-flow in the middle overs and also picked wickets regularly.

In total, he picked 10 wickets in six games which also include two Man of the Match awards. Riding on his brilliance, India advanced to the finals, where they lost against Sri Lanka.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-376067" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Suresh-Raina-2.jpg" alt="Suresh Raina" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-376067" class="wp-caption-text">Suresh Raina. (Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images)</figcaption>

The first Indian to hit a T20I century, Suresh Raina, had to make this happening list. The southpaw is a proven star of the T20 format and his record speaks volumes of his prowess. Raina can strike the ball a long way, and his ability to adapt to the situation makes him an even greater asset.

Moreover, the former Indian cricketer is also a livewire on the field and can also contribute with his handy off-spin. Raina made his World T20 debut in 2009 but couldn’t do much in that edition. However, the left-handed batsman unleashed his A-game in the following edition and played several brilliant knocks.

He even went onto register his maiden T20I hundred, scoring 101 against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mark-boucher-reveals-why-ab-de-villiers-turned-down-south-africa-return/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Africa’s</a> potent bowling attack. The left-hander played several crucial knocks in the next three editions of the tournament and guided India over the line.

In total, he scored 453 runs in 26 T20 World Cup games. To go with that, Raina also scalped five wickets, and his contribution in the field doesn’t require any mentioning.

A young <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ms-dhoni-spotted-with-csk-training-jersey-in-sakshis-instagram-video/">MS Dhoni</a> was asked to lead India in the 2007 T20 World Cup with veterans like Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid opting out of the tournament. In fact, the entire Indian squad comprised inexperienced players, and hence, many didn’t see India going far in the competition.

However, the Men in Blue defied the odds and won the title. While the likes of Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh were India’s star performers, Dhoni was the unsung hero. He played some crucial cameos, and his wicket-keeping was précised.

On top of that, the Ranchi-born cricketer made some shocking but brilliant on-field decisions to take India to glory. Dhoni led India in the subsequent five editions of the T20 World Cup and guided the side to numerous wins. However, the talismanic wicketkeeper, who retired from international cricket last year, will not feature in this year’s tournament.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-152359" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/RP-Singh.jpg" alt="RP Singh of India" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-152359" class="wp-caption-text">RP Singh of India. (Photo by Clive Rose/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Next on the list is Rudra Pratap Singh. Although the left-arm pacer didn’t play many matches at the highest level, he bowled some memorable spells in Team India colours. RP was able to swing the ball both ways, and that too with a good pace.

Moreover, his ability to nail toe-crushing yorkers shattered the stumps of many prominent batsmen. He bowled several fiery spells in the 2007 T20 World Cup as India won one game after another. Be it taking wickets with the new ball or restricting the run-flow in end overs, RP delivered whenever Dhoni threw the ball at him.

Who can forget his four-wicket haul against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mark-boucher-reveals-why-ab-de-villiers-turned-down-south-africa-return/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Africa</a>, which took India to a much-needed victory? The pacer also scalped three wickets in the final against Pakistan. He eventually finished the tournament with 12 wickets in seven games, the third-highest for anyone.

The fast bowler couldn’t replicate his brilliant show in the 2009 edition of the competition and wasn’t picked in the subsequent tournaments. RP announced his retirement from all forms of the game in September 2018.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-497513" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-6.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-497513" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

One of the finest batsmen in modern-day cricket, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rohit-sharma-net-worth-and-salary-details/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a> is sixth on this list. The dashing batsman featured in all the previous editions of the T20 World Cup and would be raring to shine in this year’s competition.

While the Nagpur-born Rohit is an established opener now, he played at different positions in the marquee tournament. The right-handed batsman made his T20I debut during the 2007 T20 World Cup and didn’t take long in making a mark.

He scored a match-winning fifty against South Africa just in his second match. Rohit also played a fiery 30-run cameo in the final against Pakistan to bolster India’s total. Batting in the middle order, Rohit played many such knocks in the following tournaments before being promoted at the top order.

He played the last two editions (2014 and 2016) as an opener and will assume the same role in this year’s competition. Notably, Rohit had a memorable time in the ODI World Cup in 2019, and he would like to replicate his heroics in the T20 version of the major event.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-297806" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Gautam-Gambhir-India.jpg" alt="Gautam Gambhir" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-297806" class="wp-caption-text">Gautam Gambhir. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The man of big games, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/gautam-gambhir-under-delhi-polices-scrutiny-for-distributing-free-fabiflu-in-the-city/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gautam Gambhir</a> finds a fifth place in this list. Unlike most of the successful T20 batsmen, Gambhir wasn’t known for his big striking, but his ability to score runs consistently made him a great asset.

In the 2007 T20 World Cup, the left-handed batsman gave India good starts regularly, allowing the likes of Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma to unleash carnage in the end overs. Now, who can forget his spectacular knock against Pakistan in the final?

While the likes of Robin Uthappa, Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni failed to deliver, Gambhir didn’t put his guards down and smashed the Pakistan bowlers all over the park. In total, he scored 75 off 54 balls as the Men in Blue posted 157/7, which proved to be enough.

In fact, Gambhir was India’s highest run-scorer in the tournament with 227 runs. The southpaw also featured in the next three editions of the event and played several impressive knocks. Gambhir retired from all forms of cricket in December 2018 and has now turned into a politician.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-230736" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ravichandran-Aswin.jpg" alt="Ravichandran Ashwin" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-230736" class="wp-caption-text">Ravichandran Ashwin of India. (Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images)</figcaption>

The talismanic off-spinner has not been part of India’s white-ball team in the last few years and might also be overlooked for this year’s tournament. However, his record in T20I cricket is nothing but impressive.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/reverse-swing-at-its-best-ravi-ashwin-reacts-to-wasim-akrams-magical-deliveries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ravi Ashwin</a> has bowled some sensational spells in T20Is and is also the first Indian bowler to scalp 50 wickets in the format. Ashwin played for India in the last three editions of the T20 World Cup (2012, 2014 and 2016).

Although the Men in Blue didn’t get glory in these tournaments, their journey was impressive, and a lot of credit goes to the star off-spinner. Ashwin took wickets regularly in the middle overs and also didn’t leak a lot of runs. In total, he scalped 20 wickets in 16 T20 World Cup games, the most for any Indian.

Moreover, his economy rate in the tournament has been 6.18, which is another reason why Ashwin makes it to the top four on this list. These numbers aren’t ordinary by any standards, and it would be interesting to see if the national selectors will consider the spinner for the T20 extravaganza.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-428680" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Irfan-Pathan.jpg" alt="Irfan Pathan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-428680" class="wp-caption-text">Irfan Pathan. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

Well, this might raise some eyebrows, but when we talk about India’s match-winners in the T20 World Cups,<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/irfan-pathan-to-donate-money-earned-from-social-media-campaigns-to-charity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Irfan Pathan</a> is right among the top players. The all-rounder delivered in all three departments and took his side to many wins in the marquee event.

The left-arm pacer was, in fact, instrumental in taking India to their biggest T20I triumph. In the final against Pakistan in 2007, Pathan bowled his heart out and ran through the opposition side’s batting order.

He took three wickets in the game and conceded just 16 runs in four overs. As a result, India won the game by five runs, and Pathan received the Man on the Match award. The southpaw also delivered with the bat on multiple occasions, bolstering India’s total.

After 2007, Pathan played the next three editions of the showpiece event and put up some more impressive performances.  Irfan Pathan retired from all forms of cricket in January last year.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-489442" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Yuvraj-Singh.jpg" alt="Yuvraj Singh" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-489442" class="wp-caption-text">Yuvraj Singh. (Photo by Satish Bate/Hindustan Times via Getty Images)</figcaption>

The man behind India’s two World Cup triumphs, Yuvraj Singh is second on this happening list. Four years before taking India to the 2011 World cup glory, the southpaw dismantled bowling line-ups in the inaugural World T20 in South Africa.

He smashed sixes for fun and made the best of bowlers look ineffective. While Yuvraj tormented many prominent bowlers in that tournament, his mayhem against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/stuart-broad-hopeful-of-david-warner-writing-a-book-on-the-sandpaper-gate-after-retirement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stuart Broad</a> will be remembered till eternity.

Following an altercation with the then England captain Andrew Flintoff, the southpaw smashed Stuart Broad for six consecutive sixes in Durban. In the same innings, he brought up a 12-ball fifty, the fastest for any player in international cricket to date.

Yuvraj also scored a 30-ball 70 against Australia in the semi-final. India eventually won the tournament, and the southpaw earned praises from all over the world.

He went onto feature in all the following T20 World Cups and played many staggering knocks. However, Yuvraj is now retired and hence, won’t feature in this year’s competition.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-499240" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Virat-Kohli-against-England.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli against England" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-499240" class="wp-caption-text">Virat Kohli against England. (Photo by Surjeet Yadav/Getty Images)</figcaption>

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-or-babar-azam-ian-bell-names-batsman-with-best-cover-drive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli </a>might also have topped the list of greatest players in the T20 World Cup, and when the criteria restrict to Indians, he’s certain to take the pinnacle spot. Although the Indian skipper has been sensational in his entire T20I career, his performances in the T20 World Cup are even more staggering.

The right-handed batsman first featured in the tournament in 2012 and kept getting better since then. Kohli scored runs regularly in the high-profile event and shattered one record after another. As a result, India lost just four games in the last three seasons of the T20 World Cups.

Coming to Kohli’s record in the tournament, he scored 777 runs in 16 games at an average of over 86. Now, this is what you call jaw-dropping.

Moreover, he was the Man of the Tournament in the last two editions of the T20 World Cup, and he won’t mind bagging the title this year again. However, his primary focus will be taking India to glory.

The ICC T20 World Cup is slated to take place later this year in India, and all participating teams are gearing up for the gala tournament. T20 cricket has been dominating the cricket calendar in the past few years, resulting in the rise of many T20 specialists.
Hence, fans all across the world should brace themselves to witness some mind-boggling action in the marquee T20 competition. Hosts India are one of the front-runners to lift the title for various reasons. While they have a plethora of T20 stars thanks to the Indian Premier League (IPL), the home advantage is also in their favour.

A young <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ms-dhoni-spotted-with-csk-training-jersey-in-sakshis-instagram-video/">MS Dhoni</a> was asked to lead India in the 2007 T20 World Cup with veterans like Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid opting out of the tournament.

<figure id="attachment_230736" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-230736" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img class="size-full wp-image-230736" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Ravichandran-Aswin.jpg" alt="Ravichandran Ashwin" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img><figcaption id="caption-attachment-230736" class="wp-caption-text">Ravichandran Ashwin of India. (Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
The talismanic off-spinner has not been part of India’s white-ball team in the last few years and might also be overlooked for this year’s tournament. However, his record in T20I cricket is nothing but impressive.
<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/reverse-swing-at-its-best-ravi-ashwin-reacts-to-wasim-akrams-magical-deliveries/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ravi Ashwin</a> has bowled some sensational spells in T20Is and is also the first Indian bowler to scalp 50 wickets in the format. Ashwin played for India in the last three editions of the T20 World Cup (2012, 2014 and 2016).
Although the Men in Blue didn’t get glory in these tournaments, their journey was impressive, and a lot of credit goes to the star off-spinner. Ashwin took wickets regularly in the middle overs and also didn’t leak a lot of runs. In total, he scalped 20 wickets in 16 T20 World Cup games, the most for any Indian.
Moreover, his economy rate in the tournament has been 6.18, which is another reason why Ashwin makes it to the top four on this list. These numbers aren’t ordinary by any standards, and it would be interesting to see if the national selectors will consider the spinner for the T20 extravaganza.

<h3>3. Irfan Pathan</h3>
<figure id="attachment_428680" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-428680" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img class="size-full wp-image-428680" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Irfan-Pathan.jpg" alt="Irfan Pathan" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img><figcaption id="caption-attachment-428680" class="wp-caption-text">Irfan Pathan. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
Well, this might raise some eyebrows, but when we talk about India’s match-winners in the T20 World Cups,<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/irfan-pathan-to-donate-money-earned-from-social-media-campaigns-to-charity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Irfan Pathan</a> is right among the top players. The all-rounder delivered in all three departments and took his side to many wins in the marquee event.
The left-arm pacer was, in fact, instrumental in taking India to their biggest T20I triumph. In the final against Pakistan in 2007, Pathan bowled his heart out and ran through the opposition side’s batting order.
He took three wickets in the game and conceded just 16 runs in four overs. As a result, India won the game by five runs, and Pathan received the Man on the Match award. The southpaw also delivered with the bat on multiple occasions, bolstering India’s total.
After 2007, Pathan played the next three editions of the showpiece event and put up some more impressive performances.&nbsp; Irfan Pathan retired from all forms of cricket in January last year.

<h3>2. Yuvraj Singh</h3>
<figure id="attachment_489442" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-489442" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img class="size-full wp-image-489442" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Yuvraj-Singh.jpg" alt="Yuvraj Singh" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img><figcaption id="caption-attachment-489442" class="wp-caption-text">Yuvraj Singh. (Photo by Satish Bate/Hindustan Times via Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
The man behind India’s two World Cup triumphs, Yuvraj Singh is second on this happening list. Four years before taking India to the 2011 World cup glory, the southpaw dismantled bowling line-ups in the inaugural World T20 in South Africa.
He smashed sixes for fun and made the best of bowlers look ineffective. While Yuvraj tormented many prominent bowlers in that tournament, his mayhem against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/stuart-broad-hopeful-of-david-warner-writing-a-book-on-the-sandpaper-gate-after-retirement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stuart Broad</a> will be remembered till eternity.
Following an altercation with the then England captain Andrew Flintoff, the southpaw smashed Stuart Broad for six consecutive sixes in Durban. In the same innings, he brought up a 12-ball fifty, the fastest for any player in international cricket to date.
Yuvraj also scored a 30-ball 70 against Australia in the semi-final. India eventually won the tournament, and the southpaw earned praises from all over the world.
He went onto feature in all the following T20 World Cups and played many staggering knocks. However, Yuvraj is now retired and hence, won’t feature in this year’s competition.

<h3>1. Virat Kohli</h3>
<figure id="attachment_499240" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-499240" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img class="size-full wp-image-499240" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Virat-Kohli-against-England.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli against England" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img><figcaption id="caption-attachment-499240" class="wp-caption-text">Virat Kohli against England. (Photo by Surjeet Yadav/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-or-babar-azam-ian-bell-names-batsman-with-best-cover-drive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli </a>might also have topped the list of greatest players in the T20 World Cup, and when the criteria restrict to Indians, he’s certain to take the pinnacle spot. Although the Indian skipper has been sensational in his entire T20I career, his performances in the T20 World Cup are even more staggering.
The right-handed batsman first featured in the tournament in 2012 and kept getting better since then. Kohli scored runs regularly in the high-profile event and shattered one record after another. As a result, India lost just four games in the last three seasons of the T20 World Cups.
Coming to Kohli’s record in the tournament, he scored 777 runs in 16 games at an average of over 86. Now, this is what you call jaw-dropping.
Moreover, he was the Man of the Tournament in the last two editions of the T20 World Cup, and he won’t mind bagging the title this year again. However, his primary focus will be taking India to glory.

The ICC T20 World Cup is slated to take place later this year in India, and all participating teams are gearing up for the gala tournament. T20 cricket has been dominating the cricket calendar in the past few years, resulting in the rise of many T20 specialists.
Hence, fans all across the world should brace themselves to witness some mind-boggling action in the marquee T20 competition. Hosts India are one of the front-runners to lift the title for various reasons. While they have a plethora of T20 stars thanks to the Indian Premier League (IPL), the home advantage is also in their favour.
Moreover, they have done exceptionally in the format lately, defeating England and Australia in their last two T20I series. Hence, a lot of expectations will be on Team India’s shoulders and they would not want to disappoint their fans. India have tasted glory in the T20 World Cup once, having won the inaugural edition of the competition in 2007.
The Men in Blue also advanced to the finals in 2014, while the 2016 tournament saw them reaching the semi-finals. India’s record in the tournament shows they have produced many T20 stars. That’s indeed the case as many dashing batsmen and spectacular bowlers have represented India in T20 World Cups.
<h3>In the article, we rank India&#8217;s top 10 match-winners in T20 World Cup history:</h3>
<h3>10. Amit Mishra</h3>
<figure id="attachment_384586" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-384586" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-384586" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Amit-Mishra.jpg" alt="Amit Mishra" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-384586" class="wp-caption-text">Amit Mishra. (Photo Source: EMMANUEL DUNAND/AFP via Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
The leg-spinner is regarded as one of the unluckiest Indian cricketers ever as he could never get a long run in the national team despite delivering regularly. Be it turning the ball or bowling deceptive googlies, Mishra possessed many weapons in his armoury through which he tormented some of the best batsmen in the world.
He was selected in India’s squad for the 2014 T20 World Cup, which took place in Bangladesh. Many eyebrows were raised when the then Indian captain MS Dhoni included Mishra in the playing XI alongside spin twins <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/posts/4583253335038685" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ravindra Jadeja</a> and Ravichandran Ashwin.
However, his decision proved to be spot on as the leg-spinner bowled some sensational spells in the competition. The leggie restricted the run-flow in the middle overs and also picked wickets regularly.
In total, he picked 10 wickets in six games which also include two Man of the Match awards. Riding on his brilliance, India advanced to the finals, where they lost against Sri Lanka.

<h3>9. Suresh Raina</h3>
<figure id="attachment_376067" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-376067" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-376067" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Suresh-Raina-2.jpg" alt="Suresh Raina" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-376067" class="wp-caption-text">Suresh Raina. (Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
The first Indian to hit a T20I century, Suresh Raina, had to make this happening list. The southpaw is a proven star of the T20 format and his record speaks volumes of his prowess. Raina can strike the ball a long way, and his ability to adapt to the situation makes him an even greater asset.
Moreover, the former Indian cricketer is also a livewire on the field and can also contribute with his handy off-spin. Raina made his World T20 debut in 2009 but couldn’t do much in that edition. However, the left-handed batsman unleashed his A-game in the following edition and played several brilliant knocks.
He even went onto register his maiden T20I hundred, scoring 101 against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mark-boucher-reveals-why-ab-de-villiers-turned-down-south-africa-return/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Africa’s</a> potent bowling attack. The left-hander played several crucial knocks in the next three editions of the tournament and guided India over the line.
In total, he scored 453 runs in 26 T20 World Cup games. To go with that, Raina also scalped five wickets, and his contribution in the field doesn’t require any mentioning.

<h3>8. MS Dhoni</h3>
<figure id="attachment_264969" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-264969" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-264969" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/MS-Dhoni-2.jpg" alt="MS Dhoni" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-264969" class="wp-caption-text">Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni celebrates with the WT20 trophy. (Photo by Tom Shaw/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
A young <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ms-dhoni-spotted-with-csk-training-jersey-in-sakshis-instagram-video/">MS Dhoni</a> was asked to lead India in the 2007 T20 World Cup with veterans like Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid opting out of the tournament. In fact, the entire Indian squad comprised inexperienced players, and hence, many didn’t see India going far in the competition.
However, the Men in Blue defied the odds and won the title. While the likes of Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh were India’s star performers, Dhoni was the unsung hero. He played some crucial cameos, and his wicket-keeping was précised.
On top of that, the Ranchi-born cricketer made some shocking but brilliant on-field decisions to take India to glory. Dhoni led India in the subsequent five editions of the T20 World Cup and guided the side to numerous wins. However, the talismanic wicketkeeper, who retired from international cricket last year, will not feature in this year’s tournament.

<h3>7. RP Singh</h3>
<figure id="attachment_152359" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-152359" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-152359" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/RP-Singh.jpg" alt="RP Singh of India" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-152359" class="wp-caption-text">RP Singh of India. (Photo by Clive Rose/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
Next on the list is Rudra Pratap Singh. Although the left-arm pacer didn’t play many matches at the highest level, he bowled some memorable spells in Team India colours. RP was able to swing the ball both ways, and that too with a good pace.
Moreover, his ability to nail toe-crushing yorkers shattered the stumps of many prominent batsmen. He bowled several fiery spells in the 2007 T20 World Cup as India won one game after another. Be it taking wickets with the new ball or restricting the run-flow in end overs, RP delivered whenever Dhoni threw the ball at him.
Who can forget his four-wicket haul against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/mark-boucher-reveals-why-ab-de-villiers-turned-down-south-africa-return/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">South Africa</a>, which took India to a much-needed victory? The pacer also scalped three wickets in the final against Pakistan. He eventually finished the tournament with 12 wickets in seven games, the third-highest for anyone.
The fast bowler couldn’t replicate his brilliant show in the 2009 edition of the competition and wasn’t picked in the subsequent tournaments. RP announced his retirement from all forms of the game in September 2018.

<h3>6. Rohit Sharma</h3>
<figure id="attachment_497513" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-497513" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-497513" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-6.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-497513" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
One of the finest batsmen in modern-day cricket, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rohit-sharma-net-worth-and-salary-details/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a> is sixth on this list. The dashing batsman featured in all the previous editions of the T20 World Cup and would be raring to shine in this year’s competition.
While the Nagpur-born Rohit is an established opener now, he played at different positions in the marquee tournament. The right-handed batsman made his T20I debut during the 2007 T20 World Cup and didn’t take long in making a mark.
He scored a match-winning fifty against South Africa just in his second match. Rohit also played a fiery 30-run cameo in the final against Pakistan to bolster India’s total. Batting in the middle order, Rohit played many such knocks in the following tournaments before being promoted at the top order.
He played the last two editions (2014 and 2016) as an opener and will assume the same role in this year’s competition. Notably, Rohit had a memorable time in the ODI World Cup in 2019, and he would like to replicate his heroics in the T20 version of the major event.

<h3>5. Gautam Gambhir</h3>
<figure id="attachment_297806" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-297806" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-297806" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Gautam-Gambhir-India.jpg" alt="Gautam Gambhir" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-297806" class="wp-caption-text">Gautam Gambhir. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>
The man of big games, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/gautam-gambhir-under-delhi-polices-scrutiny-for-distributing-free-fabiflu-in-the-city/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gautam Gambhir</a> finds a fifth place in this list. Unlike most of the successful T20 batsmen, Gambhir wasn’t known for his big striking, but his ability to score runs consistently made him a great asset.
In the 2007 T20 World Cup, the left-handed batsman gave India good starts regularly, allowing the likes of Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma to unleash carnage in the end overs. Now, who can forget his spectacular knock against Pakistan in the final?
While the likes of Robin Uthappa, Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni failed to deliver, Gambhir didn’t put his guards down and smashed the Pakistan bowlers all over the park. In total, he scored 75 off 54 balls as the Men in Blue posted 157/7, which proved to be enough.
In fact, Gambhir was India’s highest run-scorer in the tournament with 227 runs. The southpaw also featured in the next three editions of the event and played several impressive knocks. Gambhir retired from all forms of cricket in December 2018 and has now turned into a politician.

<h3>4. Ravi Ashwin</h3>

Well, this might raise some eyebrows, but when we talk about India’s match-winners in the T20 World Cups,<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/irfan-pathan-to-donate-money-earned-from-social-media-campaigns-to-charity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Irfan Pathan</a> is right among the top players.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-or-babar-azam-ian-bell-names-batsman-with-best-cover-drive/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli </a>might also have topped the list of greatest players in the T20 World Cup, and when the criteria restrict to Indians, he’s certain to take the pinnacle spot.

Ranking India's top 10 match-winners in ICC T20 World Cup history

With the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 taking place in India, the Virat Kohli-captained side would want to lift the title in home conditions.
