He has played his role of Vice Captain by taking important wickets and most important catches. You cannot win matches if you dropped catches. Axar has proved this by taking impossible catches.
Team India breaks 3 Jinx:
No team has won back-to-back T20 World Cup. No host team has won ICC tournament and India never won final in Narendra Modi Stadium. But this time India has broken all the jinx and became the first team who host the World cup and won back-to-back ICC tournaments in Narendra Modi Stadium.
Before this tournament there were total 3 jinx on team India:
- Defending team never won back-to-back titles.
- A host country never won any ICC Tournaments.
- India never won final game in Narendra Modi Stadium.
Surya Kumar Yadav and his team have broken all the jinx and proved that if a team is in a good touch and dressing room environment is good then you can win against any team. India won total 5 ICC tournaments. India won their first World Cup under captainship of Kapil Dev in 1983. India won second title under Captainship of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in 2007 and also won in 2011. India won next title in 2024 under Rohit Sharma and 2026 in captainship of Surya Kumar Yadav.
India has won Championship trophy under captainship of Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. India has won total 7 ICC trophies in total. Next big event is ICC One Day World Cup. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli both have retired from Test Cricket and T20. This will be the last World Cup for them and team India needs to win this ODI World Cup 2027 for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. India won 2011 World Cup and after that India has not win any ODI title.
Rohit Sharma has won T20 World Cup Final in 2024, and Surya Kumar Yadav has won T20 World Cup in 2026. India has played aggressively in the final game and created a humongous pressure on team New Zealand by scoring 255 runs.
New Zealand has tried their best to chase down the total but the supremacy of Jasprit Bumrah along with Axar Patel have outplayed New Zealand players and India won third ICC T20 World Cups.
Congratulations to team India for the title win of ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Congratulations to Jasprit for Player of the tournament and Sanju Samson for Player of the Match. Kudos to team India.
