The Indian team has won the T20 World Cup title for the second consecutive time. India defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the final match played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj and wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who only got to play one match in this tournament, were also very happy with India's victory. Both players were part of the 2024 T20 World Cup team.

As the players were celebrating after India's victory, the official broadcaster of the tournament asked Kuldeep and Siraj about the team's victory. Siraj was asked, "How important is your role in the victory?" Siraj quipped, "We (Kuldeep and Siraj) played a very important role. We constantly sat on the bench, gave the players water, bowled in the nets, and kept the team atmosphere positive. Every player wants to play, but team combination is more important."

 

 

Kuldeep Yadav's opinion on the victory

 

Siraj said, "I wasn't even part of the first World Cup team, but God wrote the script, sent me here, and made me a champion. No one can erase His script." Kuldeep Yadav said, "I believe your actions matter a lot. The better your actions, the better the results." The team's performance throughout the tournament was excellent. We've been preparing for the last year and a half, and obviously, there were some struggles along the way. We couldn't win the match against South Africa, but then we bounced back. The team deserves credit for the way we performed in the semi-finals and final. Winning three consecutive ICC trophies is a very pleasant feeling.

 

 

Siraj got the opportunity in place of Harshit Rana.

Siraj played only one match in the T20 World Cup 2026. He was included in the playing XI for the match against the USA. Siraj was not even part of the T20 World Cup team. Siraj was included in the squad as a replacement for Harshit Rana, who missed the global tournament at the last minute due to injury. Kuldeep also got a chance to play in one match against Pakistan.
