The team has a golden opportunity to equal Pakistan’s record in T20 International cricket. Today this record will be added to India’s name with the victory in the second match of the series against West Indies under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
Significantly, after losing in the ‘ICC T20 World Cup – 2021’, the Indian team has won 7 consecutive T20 matches. If India’s team wins against the West Indies (West Indies vs India Eden Gardens Cricket Stadium, 2022) at the Eden Gardens Cricket Stadium in Kolkata today, it will be India’s 8th consecutive win in T20Is. If this happens, Team India will have a golden chance to match Pakistan’s record. Significantly, Pakistan had won 9 consecutive T20 International matches in 2018.
