DRS, March 9: IPL 2026 schedule mystery, Tendulkar’s chats with Samson & LSG to get new mentor?
India has finally won a final in Ahmedabad. Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah proved to be the architects of India’s victory over New Zealand. Tension flared between an Indian fast bowler and a Kiwi batter, but the matter was resolved in no time. In IPL news, we might have a schedule and coach update.

Sanju Samson’s trifecta
Sanju Samson earned himself the ‘player of the tournament’ award after an 89-run knock in the final. The keeper went past Virat Kohli’s 319-run record and became just the third player to register 3 fifty+ scores in the T20 World Cup. After the match, he credited conversations with Sachin Tendulkar for his rise in the last couple of years.

Abhishek Sharma comes good finally
Abhishek Sharma repaid the faith shown by the management in the final, smashing the fastest fifty of the T20 World Cup 2026. His 52-run knock saw India post the highest powerplay score in the tournament’s history. It also set the stage for the Men in Blue to break the record for the highest total in a T20 World Cup final by a whopping 79 runs.

Jasprit Bumrah – India’s national treasure
After Jasprit Bumrah claimed the best-ever figures by a fast bowler in a T20 World Cup final and ended as the joint-highest wicket-taker of the tournament, India’s captain Suryakumar Yadav called him a national treasure. After India won the 2024 T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli had said the exact same thing about Bumrah.
