India was the winner of the first Indo-Nepal T-10 Leg Cricket Series, which was held in July 2013.
Official federation pages date the 1st Indo-Nepal T-10 Leg Cricket Championship to October 2013, not July 2013.
Full reasoning
The Leg Cricket Federation of India’s own results and player-record pages place the 1st Indo-Nepal T-10 Leg Cricket Championship in October 2013 at Kathmandu, Nepal. The results page says “1ST INDO-NEPAL T-10 LEG CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP ... OCTOBER, 2013,” and the international players page also lists the event with “Date: October, 2013.” That directly contradicts the article’s claim that the series was held in July 2013.

The 5th National T20 leg Cricket Championship was held at Mathura in Uttar Pradesh.
Official federation records list the Mathura event as the 5th Senior National T-10 championship, not a T20 championship.
Full reasoning
On the federation’s own national tournaments and results pages, the Mathura event is named the “5th Senior National T-10 Leg Cricket Championship”. The national tournaments page says “5th SENIOR NATIONAL T-10 LEG CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP, MATHURA U.P. FROM 21ST TO 23RD MAY, 2016,” and the results page repeats the same title and venue. That contradicts the article’s description of the Mathura event as a T20 championship.

In January 2017, Karnataka won by securing 211 runs, and Odisha secured 3rd position in the 5th National T10 Leg Cricket Championship, held in New Delhi.
The federation’s own results place the 5th National T-10 championship in Mathura on May 21–23, 2016, not in New Delhi in January 2017.
Full reasoning
The official results page for Leg Cricket Federation of India identifies the 5th Senior National T-10 Leg Cricket Championship as taking place at Amarnath Vidya Ashram, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, on 21–23 May 2016. It also shows Karnataka as winner and Odisha in third place. So while the winner/third-place detail matches, the article is wrong about the event being held in New Delhi and in January 2017: the federation’s own records place that 5th championship in Mathura in May 2016.

5th SENIOR NATIONAL T-10 LEG CRICKET CHAMPIONSHIP, MATHURA U.P. FROM 21ST TO 23RD MAY, 2016
Since 2012, the Leg Cricket Federation of India has organized six national games in various cities and states in India, such as Delhi, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh.
The federation’s own rule-book history says it had already conducted seven national championships by January 2020, so “six national games” understates the total.
Full reasoning
The sport’s official rule-book history says: “From July 2012 to Jan., 2020 we have conducted seven National and 6 international T-10 Leg Cricket Championships.” The federation’s homepage also advertises a 10th National T-10 Leg Cricket Championship in 2023, which further confirms the total is well above six. That means the article’s statement that the federation has organized only six national games since 2012 is incorrect.
