New delhi – In an emphatic performance at the ICC Men’s t20 world cup 2026, Team India recorded a commanding victory over Namibia, creating a new record in the tournament’s history. India’s win at the arun jaitley Stadium was historic on multiple fronts as the defending champions continued their dominant run.
📊 Ten Straight Wins: A New World Record

These innings helped india reach a massive total quickly, with several big hits and aggressive strokeplay.
