India's campaign to defend their T20 World Cup title kicks off today in the 2026 edition. They face the United States of America in their opening match, hosted at the renowned Wankhede Stadium. This fixture marks the start of Suryakumar Yadav's team's journey in the tournament.
India enters the competition as a formidable side, though they have experienced significant retirements post-the 2024 edition. Their bowling strength may be tested with Harshit Rana already ruled out and Jasprit Bumrah's participation uncertain for this match. The United States team, which showed promise in 2024, will look to exploit any vulnerabilities in India's lineup.
