Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar has lavished praise on the Indian top order for their performance in the IND VS NZ T20 World Cup 2026 Final. Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan all smashed half-centuries in what is the first instance of a team doing it in T20 World Cups.
Sachin credited the Indian team management for putting their faith in Abhishek Sharma, who repaid the same with the fastest half-century of the tournament. Sharma struck a 20-ball 52 to set India rolling.
