The ruthlessness of this Indian side is on another level. Well, the statistics say the same. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team began its home season after a disappointing ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Since then they have managed to win every other international game, be it T20Is, ODIs and Tests. The only drawback was India’s inability to not come close to a win against New Zealand in Kanpur. Had he done so, he would have maintained a hundred percent record as far as his home season is concerned. The home season began against New Zealand where they won the T20I series 3–0. India then again won the two-match Test series (1-0). They then defeated West Indies in a three-match ODI and three-match T20I series; The scoreline is 3-0 respectively. Then came Sri Lanka who were clean sweep in T20Is (3-0). The result was again a clean sweep in the Test (2–0).

The next best is by the Indian side of the 2008/9 season which won eight of their 11 matches at home while three ended in draws, hence recording a win percentage of 72.7.
In the 2000–01 season only the Australian team had a hundred percent home record. He won all his 15 matches on home soil. In terms of number of wins, 15 wins recorded by the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team is joint second.
