India’s victory made him a champion, Bumrah was considered ‘the fort of India’

New Delhi: In the T20 World Cup 2026, the Indian cricket team performed brilliantly and once again won the title. The Indian team lost only one match in the entire tournament and defended its title by defeating New Zealand in the final.

The Indian team lost only to South Africa in this tournament, but this strong contender dashed the expectations in the end. After this defeat, a former veteran player strongly criticized South Africa’s campaign and called them the most foolish team of the tournament.

‘The most stupid team…’

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan criticized South Africa after the end of the World Cup and said, ‘According to me, South Africa was the most foolish team of this tournament. If they had lost to West Indies in the Super 8, India would have been eliminated from the tournament. However, this did not happen.

Vaughan further said, ‘If South Africa had eliminated West Indies, India’s consecutive winning streak would have stopped. By winning that match, they gave the opportunity to take the story of India’s victory forward.

Lost to West Indies in Super 8
