Sachin Tendulkar has greeted Team India for their win in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. He praised Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel, and Jasprit Bumrah. Regarding Sanju, he said, “Samson is batting very smartly; he knows where to attack and where to defend. Ishan Kishan also played some excellent shots.”
After the match, Tendulkar said, “The difference between India and New Zealand’s bowling was that India used slower balls more often. Only short-pitched deliveries and variations proved effective in Ahmedabad. Winning the T20 World Cup twice in a row is a special feeling. India deserves to win this trophy.”
Former Team India captains Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma hailed the players for their win .
In an Instagram post, Virat Kohli said, “We are champions again. We had a resounding victory in the big final in Ahmedabad. The players showed great spirit throughout the tournament under pressure, and no one could even come close to this talented team.”

Rohit Sharma, meanwhile, congratulated the Indian team on his Instagram story, writing, “The entire team put in a great effort. Congratulations.”
MS Dhoni shared a photo on his Instagram account after 21 months. He wrote, “History made in Ahmedabad. Congratulations to Team India, the support staff, and all the fans. It was a pleasure to see you all in action.”
Dhoni wrote, “Coach Sir (Gautam Gambhir), I love that smile on your face. Your smile combined with match intensity is a killer combination. Excellent performance, have fun. It’s best if I don’t write anything about Bumrah. Champion bowler.”
India performed brilliantly, the team played a special brand of cricket. Excellent Team India, Jai Hind. I am not in Mumbai for the celebrations after the win, but I am watching videos of people celebrating outside my house. Great night. Great work, Team India.”
