India’s T20I record at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is defined by a striking consistency when batting first.
Across eight matches, the home side has won four, lost three, and recorded one no-result, with every single one of their four victories coming after choosing to bat first. This pattern includes a dominant 75-run win over England in 2017, a thrilling one-run victory over Bangladesh in the 2016 T20 World Cup, and a narrow six-run defeat of Australia in 2023.
Their most dramatic win came in 2024, when a second Super Over secured victory over Afghanistan after Rohit Sharma’s unbeaten 121 set the tone. Losses have come against Pakistan, Australia, and South Africa, all when India batted first, while a match against South Africa in 2022 was abandoned without a result.
The upcoming fifth T20I against the West Indies will mark India’s ninth appearance at the venue and their first against this opponent, adding another layer of intrigue to the toss decision ahead of the decider.
