New Delhi, March 9: The Indian cricket team has captivated the world with its fearless performance in the T20 World Cup 2026, clinching the title. Former Pakistani fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has praised the Indian team, its management, and coach Gautam Gambhir for their remarkable achievement. Akhtar expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and management strategies.
Speaking as an expert on a Pakistani channel after India’s victory, Akhtar stated, “This win is a triumph of India’s policy, system, and talent. Gautam Gambhir has respected talent by bringing Sanju Samson into the team, and he delivered brilliantly. He is the kind of player the top order needed.”
He added, “Abhishek Sharma is still young and has much to learn, but Samson is mature. Today, India’s strategy has prevailed. They have shown that we think correctly and in the right direction. We give the right players a chance and encourage them to step up and perform better.”
Akhtar noted that by winning the World Cup without key players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the Indian team has proven its capabilities.
He remarked, “In my opinion, Indian cricket is reaching new heights. The investment in the field, training, technology, and players will yield positive results.”
Akhtar also emphasized the respect given to senior players in India. He highlighted the beautiful gesture of inviting all three World Cup-winning captains—Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni, and Rohit Sharma—to celebrate the victory together. “India is celebrating the World Cup win as a united front. Congratulations to India. If the 2027 ODI World Cup were available today, I would take it right now.”
It is worth noting that the ODI World Cup is scheduled to take place in South Africa in 2027, with both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli likely to participate, further strengthening Team India.
