Suryakumar Yadav Leads India to Victory in World Cup Opener

In the thrilling opener of the 2026 T20 World Cup in Mumbai, India's Dinesh Karthik cheered on captain Suryakumar Yadav, who dazzled with an explosive 84* off 49 balls, rescuing India from a shaky 77/6 to a respectable 161/9. Fellow teammate Ajinkya Rahane chimed in, saying a scoring captain makes life easier. With 21 wins in their last 25 T20Is, India is on a roll!
