The "Men in Blue" began their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with an eight-wicket win against Ireland. They chased down the target of 97 runs in the 13th over.

In their next game against arch-rivals Pakistan, India ended their innings on 119 runs following the fierce spell from the opponents. In reply, lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah showcased his skills with the ball. Pakistan only managed to score 113 runs for the loss of seven wickets and India won the match by six runs.

In their third game, after a sensational spell from Arshdeep Singh, the co-hosts USA asked a lot of questions of the India batters.

Chasing 111, the stalwart duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli fell against left-arm pacer Saurabh Netravalkar. Shivam Dube and Suryakumar Yadav held their composure and guided India to a 7-wicket win.

India's T20 World Cup 2024 match against Canada was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to a wet outfield in Florida.

India finished at the top of Group A with seven points and will begin their Super 8 campaign against Afghanistan on Sunday in Barbados.
