India’s speedster Arshdeep Singh said that the team’s focus on process and self-belief was key to their 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup win on home soil, stating that the squad has set its sights on winning multiple titles in the upcoming years. With a 96-run win over New Zealand in the final in Ahmedabad, India became the first team to defend its title and also emerge victorious on home soil as well.
“When we won the last (T20) World Cup (in 2024), me, Hardik (Pandya) bhai and a lot of players from the core team said that we have to win at least five trophies in the next 10 years. That was the main focus and we knew that if we played with that standard, the result would come automatically. We followed the process and backed our game,” said Arshdeep, who picked nine wickets in eight games, which came at an economy of 8.46, in a video posted by bcci.tv on Thursday.
“You all gave us a lot of love” – Arshdeep Singh
He also opined on the experience of bowling along with veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who became the tournament’s joint leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets as well.
“It was a lot of fun to bowl with him. Cricket is very easy for him and it feels like he’s playing on a computer. But his process is very amazing. He works very hard and inspires us to do a lot to work hard,” added Arshdeep Singh.
“You all gave us a lot of love. Especially when we lost a match, you supported us a lot and thank you so much for this,” concluded Arshdeep Singh.
