T20 World Cup 2026: Irfan Pathan jokes about Gambhir's talk

In their first T20 World Cup match, India found themselves in a pickle at 77/6 against the USA. But then, Suryakumar Yadav swooped in like a superhero, scoring enough to set a target of 162, leading India to a 29-run victory at Wankhede Stadium. Irfan Pathan joked that coach Gautam Gambhir probably saved the tough talk for the dressing room instead of dinner. Looking ahead, changes might be coming for the next game against Namibia!

Quick rundown

1.Surya Kumar Yadav single-handedly steadies India with a captain's knock to post 162.

2.Pathan says Gambhir would drop truth bombs in the dressing room, not at home dinner.

3.If Bumrah returns, India likely sheds a pacer and rebalances for the big clash against Pakistan.

4.Namibia looms next in Delhi; the XI shuffle hints at a spinner-friendly plan.

5.One early hiccup for the defending champs, but the show goes on with style and humor.

Folks, let me tell you, Sanjay Bangar, a total genius, says Washington Sundar? Not happening!

Suryakumar, keep that aggression! Adjust, but keep winning big! It’s gonna be tremendous!
