India is one of the top international cricket teams with a rich history and success over the years. On the other hand, the USA is becoming familiar with the culture of Cricket and is in the transition stage of becoming an essential part of world cricket.
Both these sides are now competing in the International cricket circuit, and comparing the USA cricket team stats with India is not fair because India has played too many matches and participated in many tournaments so far.
But we can have a healthy comparison of the USA and India cricket teams for their stats, ICC rankings, and also a lone T20I match where these two sides have met so far.

India and the USA have faced only one occasion in international cricket so far, and the only T20I came as part of the ICC Twenty-20 World Cup in 2024. The USA co-hosted the tournament as well, and they had the opportunity to participate in a major ICC event with an eye to more.
Here is a quick look at the overall stats from their head-to-head matches:
