Team India Captain Suryakumar Yadav Arrives In Mumbai After T20 World Cup 2026 Triumph - WATCH

Mumbai: Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav on Tuesday returned to Mumbai following his side's triumph in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, calling the experience of becoming champion again "very good." Team India defeated New Zealand in a commanding final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, successfully defending their title and becoming the first team in T20 World Cup history to retain the trophy.

The captain also received a celebratory welcome at his residence with Dhol and traditional pooja aarti. Several people surrounded him as chants of "Surya! Surya!" echoed through the crowd, something the captain said reminded him of the iconic chants once reserved for Sachin Tendulkar.

"The 'Sachin Sachin' chant is completely deserved! He is the God of Cricket. He showed us the path. He played cricket for India for so many years. But this was a very special feeling for us too. He is with us in the Mumbai Indians, so we keep talking to him. It feels great that we won in Ahmedabad, and you all know how important it was to win in Ahmedabad," the skipper said. 

After defeating the New Zealand national cricket team by 96 runs, the India national cricket team secured their third T20 World Cup title and successfully defended the trophy, becoming the first team to achieve the feat.
