India Ends 2024 with Unparalleled T20 Success
In 2024, India’s T20 cricket team made history. It achieved a 92% win rate, the highest ever in T20s. The Men in Blue ended the year with a 135-run win over South Africa in the final T20I. This gave them a 3-1 series win. This feat made them the undisputed leaders in T20 cricket. They won the T20 World Cup without a single defeat.
Record-Breaking Win Percentage and World Cup Glory
India’s great year began with the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the US. The team went undefeated throughout the tournament, showcasing unparalleled consistency and skill. After their World Cup win, India beat Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and South Africa in bilateral series. They showed their dominance.
India’s 92% win rate in 2024 is now the best in T20 cricket. It has amazed analysts and fans alike. The previous highest annual win percentage is much lower. It shows how rare such sustained excellence is in the sport’s shortest format.

Jadeja Praises India’s Unstoppable Run
Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja was among those who marveled at India’s dominance this year. On JioCinema, Jadeja spoke about the team’s ability to perform at their best in tournaments and series. He stressed the difficulty of maintaining a winning streak.
“Winning the World Cup without losing was phenomenal. India were superb in other series too,” Jadeja said. “I don’t think anybody will ever match the win percentage of 92. No one will be able to dominate T20 cricket as India did in 2024. You can win matches, but there will always be moments where an opponent breaks the streak. India didn’t allow that to happen this year.”
Jadeja praised India’s all-around brilliance. He credited the team’s success to their strong batting, bowling, and fielding all year.
