Nine Indian players have joined former captain Rohit Sharma and eight West Indian cricketers in the elite list of winning two T20 World Cup titles.
After India defeated New Zealand on Sunday night (March 8) in the T20 World Cup 2026 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, captain Suryakumar Yadav and eight of his teammates scripted history with back-to-back T20 World Cup trophies.
Suryakumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel were part of the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup 2024 and now added one more silverware to their names.
Previously, nine players had won T20 World Cups twice and it was only one Indian – Rohit (2007 and 2024). The other eight are all from West Indies (2012 and 2016).
For India, this was their third T20 World Cup trophy, adding to 2007 and 2024 achievements. Suryakumar became the third Indian captain after MS Dhoni and Rohit to lead the side to T20 World Cup glory.
