A Twenty20 International (T20I) is a form of cricket match between two representative teams, each having T20I status as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC), and is played under the rules of Twenty20 cricket. [1] The first such match was played between Australia and New Zealand on 17 February 2005. [2] The Indian cricket team played its first T20I match—under the captaincy of Virender Sehwag—during the 2006–07 series in South Africa; [3] [4] India defeated the hosts by six wickets in the one-off match and claimed the series. [4]
As of 7 October 2023, 110 players have represented India in T20Is. India won the inaugural edition of the ICC World Twenty20, defeating Pakistan in the final by five runs. [5]
