India, Jan. 29 -- India's T20 World Cup 2026 squad looks like it was built with one obsession: win phases, win games. It's a group designed to score faster than opponents can plan, and to take wickets in the two moments that decide modern T20 - powerplay and death.

There is no runway here. The tournament runs from 7 February to 8 March across India and Sri Lanka, with India defending the title from Group A.

Suryakumar Yadav (c), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Rinku Singh

The current Indian set-up doesn't try to win the first six overs - they try to disfigure them.
