What makes India the team to beat at the T20 World Cup 2026?

The Indian cricket team for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 was revealed on Saturday, and many were taken aback. Shubman Gill, the vice captain, was dismissed due to his subpar play during the game’s first half.

In the 2025 Asia Cup, Shubman Gill returned to the Indian T20I team. He took Sanju Samson’s spot at the top, but he was unable to perform. In the end, he was left off India’s roster for the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup.

With Shubman Gill getting dropped now, the attention has turned towards Suryakumar Yadav. The Indian captain has an even worse record than Gill, and his place in the team has come under massive pressure, especially with the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 around the corner.

Despite having amassed 218 runs in his 19 T20 appearances this year, Suryakumar Yadav was still the captain despite scoring five runs in that match. “We have full faith in our captain to deliver during the World Cup,” Agarkar stated.

“I know what to do,” declared Suryakumar. I can solve it in time. Surya will undoubtedly be the batter. From February 7 to March 8, India, the reigning champions, will host the T20 World Cup alongside Sri Lanka.

Namibia, the Netherlands, Pakistan, and the United States are all in the same group as India.
