Are India The Greatest T20 Team Ever? - Group A Preview T20 World Cup

from The Cricket Podcast

Is this finally the moment Team India cements their legacy as the undisputed greatest T20 side in history? With the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup kicking off this week, we’re diving deep into Group A to see if Suryakumar Yadav and his squad are ready to defend their crown on home soil. In this episode, the boys break down India’s "ultra-attacking" squad selection. We discuss the shock exclusion of Shubman Gill, the explosive potential of an Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson opening pair, and whether Jasprit Bumrah can carry a bowling attack featuring the mystery spin of Varun Chakaravarthy. But it’s not all smooth sailing—we tackle the big questions around Surya’s recent dip in form and whether the middle order can survive the pressure of a home World Cup. The drama doesn’t stop there. We provide a full Group A preview, analyzing the massive political fallout as Pakistan confirms a boycott of their high-stakes February 15 clash against India in Colombo. What does this mean for the tournament’s integrity and Pakistan’s path to the Super 8s? We also look at the "giant-killer" potential of the USA, Netherlands, and Namibia. Can Saurabh Netravalkar haunt the big guns again? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
