After winning the T20 World Cup 2026, India captain Suryakumar Yadav expressed his gratitude to former skipper Rohit Sharma and former BCCI secretary Jay Shah for being given the honor to lead the Men in Blue in T20Is. The 35-year-old also reserved special praise for Jasprit Bumrah. He said in the post-match show (via ESPNcricinfo):

“[Has it sunk in?] I think it’ll take a little bit of time, but definitely very happy. Been a long journey. Started post the 2024 World Cup. Jay Shah, Rohit bhai, they all showed faith in me and gave me opportunity to lead. From there, it’s been a long journey, coming here and winning it. We have been playing good cricket in the last two years, and we just wanted to follow the good cricketing habits that we had in the 2024 World Cup.

“Bumrah is a once-in-a-generation bowler. I can call him a national treasure. He knows how it needs to be done; he is the best in the business.”

Bumrah emerged as the leading wicket-taker (14 wickets) at the T20 World Cup 2026 alongside World No. 1-ranked T20I bowler Varun Chakaravarthy.
