Samson, Bumrah headline T20 World Cup best XI
Sanju Samson and Jasprit Bumrah were among the standout names selected in the Team of the Tournament for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 after India’s title-winning campaign that concluded with victory in Ahmedabad earlier this week.
Samson impressed with fearless batting during the knockout rounds, delivering crucial runs that powered India to the final. Bumrah, meanwhile, anchored the bowling attack with disciplined spells, repeatedly striking at key moments and restricting opposition scoring.
“Samson’s impact in the big games was remarkable,” a tournament analyst said, highlighting his ability to handle pressure. Another expert praised Bumrah’s control with the ball, saying he “remained one of the most reliable bowlers throughout the event.”
The final XI reflects the players who defined the tournament, with India’s champions strongly represented after their dominant march to the trophy.
