If India wants to win the next T20 World Cup 2026, then these 6 players will have to be kept in the team

After a period of two years, India Sri Lanka Cricket Board will come together to host the biggest little format of cricket in a Cricket Tournament. If Sri Lanka performed below par, it was the winner of the 2024 T20 World Cup; even after that long drought, Team India didn't bring much. In such a scenario, the host nation would be under a lot of pressure to defend the title. Now, with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja putting up a full stop to their T20 international careers, all eyes are on players within this Indian team who have been able to pull off a bit of a different attitude in this format since some time. In this case, Team India is required to win that title; then there are some such players who need to stay fit until that time.

Some of the players who did not get a chance to participate in the T20 World Cup 2024 are Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rinku Singh, and Shubman Gill. While a few of them made it into the main team, some have gone to the USA and West Indies as reserves. So, in the next World Cup, the role of those three players is going to increase. If these boys remain fit and their graph in terms of form remains the same, then there are great tidings for the Indian team even in the next World Cup to be held. Rinku Singh and Jaiswal can bat vigorously and fearlessly; Shubman Gill can do the work of heeling the innings. Shubman Gill has also been made the vice-captain of the team. It means that he is being visualized as the captain of Team India in the future.

On the other hand, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah, who created a ruckus at the T20 World Cup held in America and the West Indies, are going to gain more experience in the next World Cup, and the team is going to take high advantage. Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel will also play a big role in the next World Cup. If Ravindra Jadeja is not available, then the onus will increase on Akshar as a spinning all-rounder, but this player has better records under pressure. It can be confidently said that in such a situation, if Jaspreet Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Akshar Patel remain fit till the next World Cup, then the title's defense will not be very tough.
