Varun Chakravarty holds on to his number 1 T20I bowling rank ahead of Rashid Khan. Axar also sneaks into the top 15.

Balanced Squad & Impact Players
India will fancy their chances based on their squad strength, where they have plenty of options. Their team features the world’s best batting lineup with the likes of Abhishek, Tilak, Hardik, Surya, and others. They also got the mystery spinning lineup combining Varun and Kuldeep, suitable for the conditions where they will play alongside tight line-length-based Axar. Moreover, they have got a weapon like Bumrah who can turn a game on its head at any point of a match. T20 World Cup 2026 All Team Squad Players List.
Team India Weak Points (Achilees’ Heel)
India will mostly miss Virat and Rohit, the 2 match winners who have guided them for more than a decade and a half. Virat won them the final against South Africa in 2024 on the other hand, Rohit was the player who has featured in every edition of the T20 WC before the 2026. He helped them win 2 world titles and also was the leader for the clutch moments. Rohit was also their most consistent batter in the world cup events. You may think that the team no longer need them but they will certainly miss them during the big games. Experience matters in those moments.
T20 World Cup History Record
- So far, no team has won the T20 World Cup 3 times. India won it twice alongside the West Indies and England. If they go on to win it this time, it will be history-making.
- No team has won the World Cup Twenty-20 on home soil. Sri Lanka is the only team to play the Final as the host (2012 edition). India lost in the semifinal (vs WI) the last time they hosted this event in 2020.
- Also, no team has ever won this title on consecutive occasions (WI 2012 & 2016), (ENG 2010 & 2022), (India 2007 & 2024). So, it will be another history if the Men in Blue win this edition.

India will head to the T20 WC as the hot favorites, but it will not be an easy task at all. Moreover, this time, they will miss Virat Kohli and Rohit in the big matches. Winning the series matches or the Asia Cup is not equivalent to a World Cup final, where you may face the likes of Australia or England. Don’t forget Virat Kohli was the best player in the 2024 T20 WC Final, while Rohit was their key player in the 2023 ODI WC.
