"It feels like a dream. Very happy, very grateful. In 2024, I couldn't get a game. I started working; this is exactly what I wanted to achieve. The last couple of months, I have been in constant touch with Sachin Tendulkar. When I was outside the team, I reached out to him. Yesterday he called me up. Getting guidance from him - what more can I ask for?"
"It feels really special. Before this tournament, I was trying too hard. In this format, I let the game come to me. I am clear, I prepare really well and then I execute."
India secured the T20 World Cup 2026 title by defeating New Zealand by 96 runs in the final held in Ahmedabad. India posted 255 runs, with significant contributions from Player of the Tournament Sanju Samson (89 off 46 balls), Abhishek Sharma (52 off 21 balls), and Ishan Kishan (54 off 25 balls). New Zealand's chase faltered despite Tim Seifert's 52 from 26 balls, as Jasprit Bumrah's exceptional bowling performance of 4-15 proved decisive. Samson, making his T20 World Cup debut this tournament, credited guidance from Sachin Tendulkar for his success. Bumrah emphasized his improved approach of letting the game come naturally rather than forcing outcomes.
