Since its inception, T20Is have quickly become one of the most beloved forms of international cricket as well as domestic leagues such as the Indian Premier League.

T20I makes cricket fun for both players and spectators by providing an exciting contest between big hitting and taking wickets; which ensures T20I cricket remains exciting to both parties involved!
T20Is are an excellent way to introduce people to cricket. Games typically last less than three hours, and are exciting and captivating to watch.
T20Is have proven immensely popular in India where massive crowds attend matches while millions more watch them via television broadcast. The International Cricket Council keeps tabs on T20I results to rank teams according to performance.
Suryakumar Yadav will make his debut as India’s captain during this series against Sri Lanka, replacing Hardik Pandya who could not lead them during the 2024 T20 World Cup. Yadav, an all-round batsman, will play an essential part in leading India against their arch-rival.
