Overview:
MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar have led the nation to success in the shortest format of the game.
India captain Suryakumar Yadav was over the moon when the Men in Blue defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The co-host posted 255 for 5 in their allotted 20 overs and dismissed the Kiwis on a score of 159 in 19 overs.
SKY was seen slapping himself before collecting the trophy from the ICC Chairman Jay Shah. He was trying to make himself believe that India had won the global tournament, and it was not a dream.
Suryakumar became the first captain to lift the trophy at home, and former players and fans lauded his captaincy and man-management skills.
The USA tested Suryakumar’s team in the first group stage match, but the defending champions secured a win at the Wankhede Stadium. India won all four matches in the first round but went down to South Africa in the Super 8 stage.
The players regrouped and didn’t look back, winning all the remaining games, including the semi-final against England and the final against Mitchell Santner’s team.
India have clinched the T20 World Cup Trophy three times, becoming the first nation to achieve this landmark. MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar have led the nation to success in the shortest format of the game.
