Suryakumar Yadav has only one goal in mind for the 2026 T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

India might have won two ICC trophies since, but the scars of the 2023 World Cup final are as fresh on Suryakumar Yadav\u2019s mind as they are on those nostalgic Instagram reels. So, when asked on Tuesday which team he would pick to play in the final of the upcoming 2026 T20 World Cup, the format\u2019s captain didn\u2019t shy away from pouring his heart out with just five words: \u201cNarendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, Australia.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same combination that beat them in 2023. India were unbeaten, traveling all over the country, scripting story after story before it all came crashing down, well short of a perfect finish. Suryakumar was in that team \u2014 perhaps the only player whose importance and contribution could be questioned \u2014 and scored a poor 18 (28) as India stumbled to just 240, and lost by six wickets in 43 overs.<\/p>\n

In contrast to the T20I skipper, though, Rohit Sharma, the man who was the captain on that November 19 in Ahmedabad and led those other two ICC triumphs, said he only wants to see India win.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I want India to be in the finals. I can\u2019t really put my finger on another team and say this or that. What has happened in the past has happened. I know Surya said it with a lot of passion and a heavy heart \u2013 Australia coming there and beating them in the same stadium,” Rohit said, sitting alongside Suryakumar and Harmanpreet Kaur at the ICC\u2019s tournament schedule reveal in Mumbai.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think India playing the final against any team, and India coming out on top, is what I would love to see. I\u2019m not sure what others want, but I don\u2019t really care about the opposition, to be honest. I just prefer India to be there, and then let\u2019s see what happens,” Rohit added.<\/p>\n

Defending champions India were named in Group A for the 2026 T20 World Cup along with Pakistan, USA, Netherlands and Namibia, while Australia were placed in Group B along with Sri Lanka, Ireland, Zimbabwe and Oman.<\/p>\n
