How does Team India's 2023-25 run in white-ball cricket rank amongst best-ever in the history of the game?

India's run from the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, which ended with a heartbreaking loss to Australia in the final after an unprecedented 10-match win streak, till the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has been one of the finest runs by a team in white-ball cricket, 23 wins in 24 matches, one loss and two trophies won.
India won both the last year's T20 World Cup at Barbados and the Champions Trophy in Dubai undefeated. Had they won the 2023 World Cup, they would have had all the ICC titles in white-ball cricket at the same time, that too undefeated, which no team has ever managed to do.
Australia, following the 2007 50-over World Cup win and 2009 CT triumph, could not register this feat after losing to England in the T20 WC 2010 finals, while India also lost the 2014 T20 WC finals to Sri Lanka after winning the 2011 50-over World Cup, 2013 CT, missing out on opportunities to do so.
India is having one of the most dominant runs ever in white-ball cricket, rivalling West Indies and Australia at their peaks. From 1975-83, West Indies reached the finals of all World Cups, winning 15 matches, losing just two. They did win the 1975 and 1979 World Cups unbeaten, but a loss to India in the group stage and in the final in the 1983 World Cup put a small blemish on their resume.
