Before the T20 World Cup final, Team India again adopted ‘trick’, took a big decision to forget the bitter memory of 2023!

India vs New Zealand, T20 World Cup 2026 Final: The final match of T20 World Cup 2026 between India and New Zealand will be played on Sunday, March 8 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In this match, Team India will take the field with the intention of creating history by winning the T20 World Cup trophy for the second consecutive time. At the same time, before this title match, the Indian team has taken a very interesting decision, which is believed to be related to the team’s past experiences and superstition.

In fact, India also played the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup on this ground, where it had to face defeat against Australia. In such a situation, Team India does not want to repeat that history this time and that is why the team has taken two big decisions before the final.

Team India adopted a big trick from the final

According to media reports, BCCI has changed the Indian team hotel in Ahmedabad before the final. Along with this, the team has also decided to make changes regarding the dressing room in the stadium. It is believed that this step has been taken to leave behind old ‘jinxes’ or negative memories and make a new beginning. If reports are to be believed, the team will not stay there this time in the hotel where they stayed during the 2023 ODI World Cup final.

Apart from this, in Narendra Modi Stadium also the team can use the dressing room of the visiting team instead of the ‘home’ dressing room. Some people are also linking this decision with superstition.

Started practice late due to lunar eclipse

Recently, Team India started practice about 45 minutes late in Mumbai to avoid the ‘bad effects’ of the lunar eclipse. However, another reason is also being given for changing the hotel. As per ICC protocol, the first finalist is accommodated at the ITC Narmada Hotel in Ahmedabad, where the Indian team stayed during the 2023 ODI World Cup final, while the second finalist is accommodated at the Taj Skyline Hotel. However, the real reason for changing the dressing room has not been officially revealed.

Team India’s record in Ahmedabad

At the same time, if we talk about India’s T20 record on the Ahmedabad ground, Team India has so far played 10 T20 matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium, out of which it has won 7, while it has faced defeat in 3 matches. In this T20 World Cup, India has played two matches here, where the team defeated Netherlands by 17 runs, but lost against South Africa by 76 runs.
