What do teams need to focus on to succeed in ICC T20 World Cup 2026?

India have too Many wicketkeeper batsman options for T20 - Sanju , Kishan, pant and Jurel etc .

1. Batting
2. Batting
3. Batting
4. Bowling somewhat.

Tournaments are won by batting in this era. With good batting surfaces in almost all ICC events, each and every bowler gets a thrashing and you cannot rely on them to win you matches.

It’s the batting that has to out bat the opposition. Specially on batting friendly Indian, Pakistan and other Asian wickets.

It is this thinking which is precisely outdated. Agha and Saim are 100% #6 and #7 options only to be brought in when frontliners have a terrible day.

In past, you could get away with 2 ovs 20-22 runs from a part timer in T20. Now modern dat batters will target 20-25 runs off them in a matchup over. If a team needs 4 overs from part timers in a T20 game, they will be microtargeted to an insane level.

Remember that Sanju Samson played an ODI chase vs SA confident of delaying his charge because he felt he could get 30+ in Shamsi's last over of spin. And he nearly pulled it off. This obsession with part timers is the first thing that has to go.

Well, you can’t play with 2 pace bowlers unless you have a fast bowling all rounder coming in at 7.

You can’t drop a batsman for another bowler because it’ll just weaken our batting line up.
