IND vs NAM T20 World Cup 2026: The Men in Blue won't be attending any training session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday, just three days before their second group stage clash against Namibia, according to a Times of India report. Although there is no official reason given for giving this session a miss, the main reason might be due to ground availability, as both Namibia and the Netherlands will use this ground for their training before their match on Tuesday.
Namibia will be attending its training session in the morning, whereas the Netherlands will train in the evening.
The BCCI then released an official statement and said that the host will have a day off and that there will be no practice session at the venue.
“Day off. No practice or press conference," the statement released by BCCI said.
Team India will train from 6 pm to 9 pm on Tuesday at the same venue, with the Namibia vs Netherlands match expected to end by 3 pm.
India is coming off a 29-run win against the USA.
Suryakumar batting in his usual fluent style and Mohammed Siraj’s incisive opening spell headlined defending champions India’s scratchy 29-run victory over the United States, despite a dramatic top-order collapse in their T20 World Cup opener in Mumbai on Saturday, February 7.
A veteran of many a battle at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, Suryakumar’s unbeaten 84 off 49 deliveries was a blend of a fine rescue act and a defiant counter-attack against a USA bowling attack that proved far from mere pushovers.
Drawing on all his experience at his home ground, Suryakumar reaped rich dividends for his patience and, more importantly, discipline, as a plucky USA team had India on the mat at 77/6 at one stage in the first half.
But Suryakumar’s late onslaught, featuring 10 fours and four sixes after he was dropped on 15, lifted India to 161/9 after they had been 128/7 at the end of 18 overs.
