Team India won its first T20 World Cup in 2007. This mega tournament was organized for the first time at that time. The captain of Team India was Mahendra Singh Dhoni. After this mega tournament has been organized 6 times and we have not been able to become champions even once.
It will benefit team India to play with the current champion and the host of the T20 world cup 2022 before the mega event for preparation purposes.
