India T20 Champs!

India is now considered the greatest T20 team after defeating New Zealand in the 2026 World Cup final [https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/t20-world-cup-2026-india-now-unequivocally-the-greatest-t20-team-of-all-time-1527631] – though some still value the 50-over wins more [https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/indias-t20-world-cup-wins-don-t-come-remotely-close-to-1983-2011-wins-under-kapil-dhoni-manjrekar-cooks-up-a-storm-101773190238423.html].

India's bowling attack proved too much for New Zealand in the final, with Jasprit Bumrah taking three key wickets. His performance cemented his reputation as one of the best T20 bowlers in the world. The victory marks India's second T20 World Cup title, further solidifying their dominance in the format. They previously won the inaugural tournament in 2007. Despite the T20 success, some argue that India's ODI World Cup wins in 1983 and 2011 hold greater significance. Those victories are seen as transformative moments for Indian cricket.
