Most T20I runs for India in 2025 ft. Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill
The Indian Cricket Team enjoyed their time in the T20I format. They played the majority of their games in this format and had a great preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, which will be played in India and Sri Lanka in February-March next year.
India didn’t lose a single T20I series this year, beating the likes of England, Australia and South Africa. On top of that, they also won the Asia Cup 2025 without losing a single match in the tournament, beating Pakistan thrice in the event in Dubai.
India also announced their squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. One of the major talking points was Shubman Gill getting dropped from the side despite being the vice-captain. Apart from him, several other players contributed as well and in this piece, we take a look at them:
