T20 World Cup 2026: Suryakumar Yadav Wants To Face THIS Team In T20 WC Final In Ahmedabad

T20 World Cup 2026: Suryakumar Yadav, the current skipper of India's T20 team, shed all his inhibitions for the venue and opponent, hoping to face Australia if India makes it to the final of the T20 World Cup 2026. During the announcement of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 schedule on Tuesday, Suryakumar expressed his desire to play against Australia in the final held in Ahmedabad and lift the trophy.

While on stage with Rohit Sharma and Harmanpreet Kaur, the event host asked him which team he most wanted India to defeat in the championship match.

Suryakumar Yadav paused and smiled before giving an answer, saying, "Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad... Australia, definitely."

On November 19, 2023, Australia broke millions of Indian hearts at the ODI World Cup 2023 final held at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Travis Head scored a match-winning century that earned him 'player of the tournament'. India's biggest by capacity in Ahmedabad will host the final of the 2026 T20 World Cup, unless Pakistan makes it to the final. Suryakumar has shown his desire to take revenge for India's loss in that ODI final.

At the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 schedule announcement event, ICC Chairman Jay Shah delighted Indian fans by announcing Rohit Sharma as the brand ambassador for the T20 World Cup. Responding to the announcement, Rohit expressed his excitement about the tournament returning to India after a decade and extended his best wishes to all 20 participating teams for a successful competition.

"It is great to have the tournament back in India and for me to be associated once again with the tournament, this time in a new capacity as the Brand Ambassador. I wish all the players the very best and hope they have a memorable time and enjoy India's hospitality while taking back a lot of memories," Rohit said.
