The countdown for the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup has begun, and cricket fans in India are buzzing with excitement. India, the defending champions, are once again among the top contenders to lift the trophy, this time under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. ABP News brings viewers an exclusive first look at the iconic ICC T20 World Cup trophy, the same prestigious award India first claimed in 2007 under Mahendra Singh Dhoni in South Africa and again in 2024 under Rohit Sharma in the USA. The silver-plated trophy, weighing approximately 3.75 kilograms, is designed to symbolize the energy and synergy unique to T20 cricket. While the trophy itself cannot be touched, ABP News gives fans a close-up view of this beautiful symbol of cricketing excellence. India’s journey in 2026 is historic, as no host nation has ever won the T20 World Cup, and no defending champion has successfully retained the title. With the final scheduled for March 8, all eyes are on the Men in Blue to see if Suryakumar Yadav can lead the team to another momentous victory. This is more than just a trophy; it’s a symbol of national pride and cricketing passion that fans are eagerly awaiting.
