India are all set to defend the T20 World Cup title, having won the previous edition in 2024 under Rohit Sharma's captaincy. The Men in Blue have not lost a T20I series since Suryakumar Yadav took charge in mid-2024. They are the favourites to win the T20 World Cup and become the first team to retain the coveted title.
1983 World Cup winner Kris Srikkanth predicted that the 2021 T20 World Cup champions, Australia, would meet India in the final on March 9 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Srikkanth also picked three teams apart from India who are likely to make it to the semi-finals of the 2026 T20 World Cup. He went with two-time champions England, last edition's runners-up South Africa, and Australia.
