India defeated New Zealand in the final to win the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, marking their third title in the tournament. Captain Suryakumar Yadav led the team to a historic triumph on home soil in Ahmedabad. The victory comes with a $3 million prize from the event's $13.5 million pool.
Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has endorsed Sanju Samson as a potential replacement for Suryakumar Yadav as India's T20I captain following the team's T20 World Cup triumph. Samson contributed significantly with a hat-trick of half-centuries during the tournament. At 35, Yadav's long-term captaincy prospects appear limited ahead of major events in 2028.

Following back-to-back T20 World Cup victories, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has targeted an Olympic gold medal in cricket at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The team, fresh from defeating New Zealand in the 2026 final, reflects on its recent successes in ICC tournaments. Yadav emphasized maintaining dominance leading up to the Olympics.
New Zealand defeated India by 50 runs in the fourth T20I played in Visakhapatnam. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav explained that the team deliberately fielded six batters to give opportunities to World Cup squad members and test challenging situations. Despite Shivam Dube's explosive innings, India was bowled out for 165.
