India faces a packed cricket calendar for the next 12 months after the end of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. There could be additional games being potentially lined up in Ireland, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe, apart from the scheduled engagements in England, the UAE, Bangladesh, Japan, and a full slate of games at home. They are currently the T20 World Cup 2026 winning side. 

The Suryakumar Yadav-led side may also play three more T20Is in July-August in addition to the two Tests already part of the Future Tours Program (FTP). It has been learnt that the BCCI would be considering a request from the Sri Lanka Cricket to arrange the T20Is to help with their flood relief.

Before the SL trip, India will travel to England for three ODIs and five T20Is between July 1 and 19, as there is a chance of a three-match T20I series in Dublin against Ireland, as the BCCI and Cricket Ireland have indicated. The BCCI supported Ireland in 2018, 2022, and 2023 with short series.

India to play extra T20I series in Ireland and Sri Lanka

A three-match T20I series against Afghanistan has been scheduled in the UAE in September, which has been a busy month for Indian cricket. There is also a declared series against Bangladesh for six white-ball games, including three ODIs and as many T20I clashes. But for that series to get the green light, it will require clearance from the Government of India.

There has also been talk of a possible short visit to Zimbabwe for the three-match T20 series, as the tour could take place in September, around the same time when the West Indies are scheduled to tour India for three ODIs and five T20Is. The eight-match series could get extended in October.

The Asian Games 2026 is scheduled from September 19 to October 04 as those could be played in the T20Is. India is then expected to reach New Zealand on October 18 for a full tour of five ODIs, five T20Is, and two Tests. They will then return home and are in line to play three ODIs and three T20Is at home against Sri Lanka, followed by the BGT 2027 in January and February 2027.

Jitesh Sharma missed out on a place in India’s squad for the ICCMen's T20 World Cup after a late change in the team combination. The decision meant he lost his chance to be in the playing XI. Although it was disappointing at first, the situation later allowed him to stay with his father during his last days, which he now values more than playing in the tournament.

His father, Mohan Sharma, passed away on February 1 after a short illness. At that time, Jitesh had been part of India’s plans for the tournament and had also played in the Asia Cup. However, before the New Zealand T20I series, the team management changed the batting plan and chose Ishan Kishan instead, with Abhishek Sharma opening the innings.

The RCB batter said that “When I got the news that I was not selected, I felt a little sad. I am also human, so I can feel sad and upset. But after some time passed, the sadness became less,” said Jitesh, who plays for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL, in an exclusive interview with PTI.

Jitesh Sharma opens up about his father’s passing

The emotional weight of missing out on the global tournament soon gave way to a far more personal challenge.

"But later on, my dad got ill. And he died on 1st of Feb. So, I was with him for seven days. Afterwards, I got to know that my dad needed me more than the World Cup. After that, I didn't have any sad feeling, any regret or anything for anyone or for myself also. I am not angry or anything," he said, as the sadness in the dashing batter-keeper's voice was palpable.

"I was grateful that God gave me the opportunity to stay with my dad for seven days. So, I was able to take care of him. And I enjoyed watching the World Cup on TV at home. It's a very different feeling. It gives you lots of pressure rather than playing. And I was very happy for the boys."

With his father gone, the responsibility of being the eldest son has become a defining reality in his life.

*"I can't forget that thing and I don't want to forget that thing because he is not there anymore. When you lose your dad, after a few days you get to know that you are now responsible for taking decisions in your family as the elder son.

"And that's it - to take care of your mother, brother and family. So, I'm someone who can't show my feelings to them and can't be weak in front of them because they are looking at me while playing cricket also. And I have to accept it,"* Jitesh said, speaking about what happens when life bowls a snorter at you.

Grief, he admits, does not arrive all at once. It creeps in slowly, leaving behind a sense of incompleteness that he knows will remain for life.

"It hits after some time. I'm not coping with anything. I'm just accepting that my dad is not there anymore. There is a portion of my heart that is empty now. It will be empty till my death because of my dad."

Cricket, however, has also taught him to carry on. Jitesh says he has learned to live with the sorrow while continuing to pursue his career.

"And I have learned to carry myself with that sorrow and that hollowness during practice. Because no matter how much I want, I can't forget that thing. Because it's your father, right? He is my hero for my life."

"If he was alive today, he would have told me to go and practice. Don't worry about me. So I always bring this thing to my mind that if I'm in sorrow or pain, what he would have told me? I think he would have suggested me to go and play the game. And I'm very proud of it."

Jitesh also drew parallels with teammate Rinku Singh, saying he understood the emotional strength required to return to the field after personal setbacks.

"That's the same thing Rinku must have felt. That's why he was able to come on the ground again. And it's a very big thing," he added.

Jitesh has featured in 16 T20Is for India, scoring 162 runs at a strike rate of 151.40. The upcoming Indian Premier League season presents him with a crucial opportunity to showcase his form and push his case for a return to the national side.

India defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the final and lifted their third T20 World Cup title. It was also India’s second consecutive T20 World Cup win, and the team became the first to win the tournament on home soil.

Amid the celebrations, the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 trophy has become a major talking point among cricket fans and former players. Several photos and videos showed players’ families, girlfriends, friends, and even some media members posing with the trophy. Former India cricketer Kirti Azad also raised questions after the trophy was taken to a Hanuman Temple and criticised Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir for it.

Many social media users have also raised concerns after photos and videos appeared online showing people posing with the trophy, kissing it, and even sleeping beside it. Some fans believe that too many people were given access to one of cricket’s most prestigious trophies.

Usually, after a team wins a major ICC tournament, the trophy is first given to the captain and the players during the official ceremony. Traditionally, the trophy is meant to be handled only by the players and official team members. The team celebrates together on stage, lifts the trophy, and poses for photographs. However, the celebrations often continue after the ceremony. Players sometimes invite their close family members and friends onto the field or into the team areas. In this case, several players were also seen celebrating with their girlfriends on the field.

Questions Raised Over Access to T20 World Cup Trophy

It was later seen that the trophy was sometimes passed around for photos, which is why many people were seen holding it. This has now raised questions among fans about how easily others were able to get access to the trophy.

Who Controls Access to the Trophy?

The responsibility of handling and protecting the trophy lies with the tournament organisers, match officials, and the winning team’s management. They make sure the trophy is presented properly during the ceremony and kept safe afterwards. However, just two days after India won the trophy, many photos and videos appeared on social media showing players, their family members, and others posing with it. Because of this, many internet users are asking how so many people were able to handle the trophy so easily.

The ICC trophy is one of the biggest achievements in international cricket. Many fans believe it should only be handled by the players and official team members who helped win it, not by their family members, friends, or girlfriends.

Some viral photos that fans are talking about include Arshdeep Singh’s brother-in-law posing with the trophy, Shivam Dube’s wife, and Abhishek Sharma’s sister holding it. Suryakumar Yadav also shared a photo where he and his wife were sleeping with the trophy placed between them, recreating a viral moment. Tilak Varma also posted a video with the trophy where he was seen sleeping and later brushing his teeth while holding it.

Here are fans’ reactions after the incident:

The trophy has lost its soul. You don't let tourists touch the crown jewels; why are we letting spectators touch the sweat of a nation?

— Sky (@ExitTheIllusion) March 10, 2026

Fully agreed, there was this incident a few years back when the FIFA World Cup Trophy was handled by someone who wasn’t allowed to and then h*ll broke loose and an enquiry was conducted.
These trophies are earned with a huge amount of skills and hard work. Stop this now.

— Biswajit (@sportsanyday) March 10, 2026

While the joy of victory is best shared with family and loved ones, the ICC World Cup trophy remains a symbol of the players’ blood, sweat and sacrifice.

1. Highest Total in T20 World Cup Final

The Men in Blue scored 255 runs against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This is the highest total ever recorded in a T20 World Cup Final match. The Indian batsmen played with great confidence and power, hitting boundaries and sixes consistently. Their total of 255 set a very big target for New Zealand, making it very hard for them to chase in the final.

2. Highest Opening Wicket Partnership in T20 World Cup Final

Abhishek Sharma had not performed well in the earlier matches of the tournament, but he played a brilliant innings in the final. He scored a half-century, which was very important for India. While he stayed at the crease, he shared a 98-run partnership for the first wicket with Sanju Samson. Sanju Samson also played very well and scored 89 runs. Their partnership gave India a strong start and built the foundation for the big total.

3. Fastest Fifty in T20 World Cup 2026

Abhishek Sharma’s half-century in the final was not only important for India’s total but also became the fastest fifty in this year’s T20 World Cup. He reached 50 runs in just 18 balls. His aggressive and quick batting helped India to score runs fast and put pressure on New Zealand from the beginning of their innings.

4. First Team to Hit 100+ Sixes in a T20 Series

The Men in Blue are known for playing very aggressive cricket, and hitting sixes is a big part of their game. In the final against New Zealand, the team hit 18 sixes. During the whole tournament, India hit more than 100 sixes. This is the first time any team has hit over 100 sixes in a single T20 World Cup series. Their power hitting made the matches very exciting for the fans.

5. First Team to Score Consecutive 250+ in T20 Internationals

The Indian batsmen scored more than 250 runs in back-to-back matches during the tournament. They scored 250+ runs against England in the semi-final and again scored more than 250 against New Zealand in the final. This is the first time any team has scored 250 or more in two consecutive T20 International matches. It shows how strong and consistent India’s batting line-up was throughout the tournament.

6. First to Win T20 World Cup as Player and Coach

India’s head coach, Gautam Gambhir, created a record of his own. He had won the T20 World Cup as a player in 2007, where he was the highest scorer in the final. Now, in 2026, he has won the T20 World Cup as a coach. He is the first person in history to win the T20 World Cup as both a player and a coach. His experience, guidance, and leadership were important for India’s success in this tournament.

The stage is set for the big final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. India will face New Zealand in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 8.

India and New Zealand reached the final through different paths. Both teams had strong batting performances in their semi-final matches. New Zealand lost to South Africa in the group stage and to England in the Super Eight stage. However, they were very strong in the semi-final. After restricting South Africa to 169/8, New Zealand chased the target easily and won by nine wickets in just 12.5 overs. Finn Allen scored a brilliant 33-ball century, the fastest hundred in T20 World Cup history.

Will India become champions for the third time in the T20 format, or will New Zealand become the seventh country to win the T20 World Cup? The answer will come on Sunday evening when India and New Zealand face each other in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Ahead of the big final, let us take a look at all the winners of the T20 World Cup in history.

Past Winners of the T20 World Cup

A young India team won the first edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2007 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. India defeated Pakistan by five runs in the final. This victory changed Indian cricket and later led to the start of the Indian Premier League. However, India had to wait 17 more years to win their second T20 World Cup title. In 2024, Rohit Sharma led India to victory against South Africa in the final.

After finishing as runners-up in 2007, Pakistan became champions in 2009 by defeating Sri Lanka in the final. Since then, Pakistan have not won another title. They reached the final once again in 2022 but lost to England. England first won the T20 World Cup in 2010 after beating Australia in the final. They won the title again in 2022 under the captaincy of Jos Buttler by defeating Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

West Indies became the first team to win the T20 World Cup twice. They won the title in 2012 and again in 2016 after defeating England in the final at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Sri Lanka and Australia were the next champions as they won the tournament in 2014 and 2021. Now, the Suryakumar Yadav-led side will aim to become the first team to win the tournament three times, while New Zealand will look to win their first T20 World Cup title.

Here's the complete list of T20 World Cup winners and runners-up from 2007 to 2026

Team India defeated England in a thrilling semifinal match on Wednesday to enter the final of the T20 World Cup. India scored a huge total of 253 runs. England came very close to the target, but India won the match by just seven runs.

The game had many exciting moments and ups and downs. In the end, India kept their calm and secured the victory. After the match, a little girl went viral on social media. She was seen praying during the national anthem before the match, and many fans are now calling her India’s lucky charm. Some fans are also jokingly asking that she should be taken to Ahmedabad for the final.

The girl walked out with Sanju Samson for the national anthem before the match. Samson later became the hero of the game. In the video, the girl was seen praying with folded hands while singing India’s national anthem. The clip quickly went viral online.

Her prayers seemed to work for Samson, who scored 89 runs and won the Player of the Match award.

India will play the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand

The Indian team has reached Ahmedabad for the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand on Sunday, March 8. The men in blue have not had good memories at this stadium. They lost the ODI World Cup final in 2023 against Australia. They also lost a match in the ongoing T20 World Cup here against South Africa, failing to chase 188 runs and losing by 76 runs.

All eyes are now on the pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium. The pitch was criticised after the ODI World Cup final in November 2023. India is coming off a strong batting performance and hopes for another flat pitch in the final.

But New Zealand has a strong opening pair. Finn Allen scored a 33-ball century, the fastest in T20 World Cup history. Tim Seifert can also score very fast on his day. It will be interesting to see if the 250-run mark can be crossed in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

Here are fans’ reactions on social media to bring the little girl:

The former Indian batter, Sachin Tendulkar, away from the excitment of Men's T20 World Cup 2026, arranged a special car for his mother to attend her grandson, Arjun Tendulkar’s, wedding ceremony, as the video went viral on social media platforms. While the cricketing world celebrated the wedding of cricketer, Arjun Tendulkar, and entrepreneur, Saaniya Chandhok, on March 0, it was a quiet moment behind the scenes that won the internet. 

Sachin Tendulkar arranged the car whose backend opened up as they put his mother in a wheelchair and lifted her inside the car with the help of others. This is a great initiative by Sachin to help his mother enjoy the wedding of her grandson.

Several stars were present in the wedding ceremony, including the BCCI chief selector, Ajit Agarkar, and the former Indian opening batter, Virender Sehwag.

India posted a massive score of 253 runs for the loss of seven wickets in their allotted 20 overs as their opening batter, Sanju Samson, smashed a fine knock of 89 runs, while Shivam Dube clubbed 43 runs in just 25 balls, besides the contribution of Ishan Kishan with a quickfire knock. 

Meanwhile, England fell seven runs short of the chase by seven runs as Jacob Bethell made a fine century in the second innings. But that was not enough to get over the line as India qualified for their fourth final of the T20 World Cups and will face New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The former Indian captain and the wicket-keeper batter, MS Dhoni, along with his wife, Sakshi, has arrived in Mumbai to attend the wedding ceremony of Arun Tendulkar, who is the only son of the former Indian batter, Sachin Tendulkar, as the video of the moment goes viral on social media platforms.

Both MS Dhoni and Sakshi took a few pictures at the gate before entering the room. The former was in Chennai a few days ago as he has started his preparation in the camp of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), along with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sarfaraz Khan, Ayush Mhatre, Prashant Veer, and other members of the franchise.

Dhoni didn’t have a great season in 2025 with the bat and the leadership skills, as the Ranchi-born ended up with only 196 runs in 13 innings at an average of 24.50 and a strike rate of 135.17, thanks to the best score of unbeaten 30 runs. He led the franchise in the absence of Gaikwad, who was out of the tournament due to injury.

Dhoni, who has notched up overall 5439 runs in 242 innings at an average of 38.30 in the IPL and a strike rate of 137.45, with 24 half-centuries at the best score of unbeaten 84 runs, has started his practice to nail the big shots around the park.

In the last season of the competition, Dhoni was struggling to nail the spinners in the middle and death overs, and that will be a part where he hopes to improve with the bat. Moreover, the Super Kings will be without their long-time servant, Ravindra Jadeja, in the side, who has moved to the Rajasthan Royals (RR) along with Sam Curran. 

CSK is likely to open the batting with Sanju Samson, who recently played a sensational knock of 97* against the West Indies in Kolkata. He is expected to open with Mhatre, while Gaikwad may come at number three and show his dominance against the spinners.

Team India will face England in the second semi-final of the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. Both teams want to reach the final. It is important to note that both India and England have played very well in this World Cup.

India reached the semi-final after finishing second in their Super 8 group, while England finished at the top of their Super 8 group. As the two teams prepare to play against each other, it will be interesting to see which team wins, considering the strong form both sides have shown.

Before the match, let us look at the statistical comparison between the two teams. Both teams are known for hitting many sixes. So, let us see which team has hit more sixes in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026.
