India has made another big record in the cricket world by winning the title of T20 World Cup 2026. In the final played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, India defeated New Zealand by a huge margin and won the T20 World Cup trophy for the second consecutive time. After this historic victory, many former cricketers of Pakistan have also praised the Indian team.
Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has said that the biggest reason for India’s victory was the team’s strong bench strength. He said that the Indian team has such a strong squad that even the players sitting outside the playing eleven are as capable as those playing on the field.
Afridi’s statement went viral
Sharing a video on his social media account, Afridi said that India has played like a champion in the entire tournament. According to him, the balance of the team was excellent and this is the reason why India is continuously succeeding in winning big tournaments.
He especially praised Indian batsman Sanju Samson. Afridi said that when Samson got the opportunity, he batted brilliantly and took the team to a strong position.
Appreciation of performance of many players
Afridi also praised the young batsmen of the Indian team, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan. He said that these players performed brilliantly throughout the tournament and played an important role in the team’s victory. Talking about bowling, Afridi has described Jasprit Bumrah as the backbone of the bowling of the Indian team. According to him, Bumrah bowls brilliantly in every situation – new ball, old ball and death over and is among the best bowlers in the world.
Told stability as the key to success
Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has also reacted on India’s victory. He said that the biggest reason for India’s success is the stability and continuity in the team. Indian players have become accustomed to playing in big matches and perform well even under pressure. Latif also said that unlike India, there is constant change and instability in Pakistan cricket, which affects the performance of the team.
After this historic victory of India, cricket legends from all over the world are praising the Indian team and calling it the result of strong team combination and excellent performance.
