Sunil Gavaskar Still Sees Concern In The Indian Camp: After USA, Team India has also defeated Namibia in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Now the next turn is of Pakistan, which will be played in Colombo on 15th February. This is the biggest match of this tournament. The first runs of this tournament have come from the bat of Suryakumar Yadav, while Ishan Kishan has also shown his stormy batting style. Hardik Pandya also performed brilliantly in batting against Namibia in Delhi, but former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar still sees a worry in the Indian camp.

Sunil Gavaskar is worried about Sanju Samson

Sunil Gavaskar’s concern is about Sanju Samson, who played in place of Abhishek Sharma against Namibia in Delhi, because Abhishek was ill. In this match, Sanju scored 22 runs in 8 balls, which included 3 sixes and one four. Nevertheless, Sunil Gavaskar said before the match against Pakistan that Samson’s form is a cause for concern, because he has been out many times at the same place.

Sunil Gavaskar gave statement on Star Sports

While analyzing on Star Sports, Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘The way Sanju Samson got out… he has been out in the same area before. It is clear that this is something which will bother the team management, because if Abhishek is not fit for the match against Pakistan on Sunday i.e. 15th February, then only Samson will play. Hopefully he would have saved all the runs in that game – Samson, all the runs he did not score against New Zealand and even today, he will be expected to score runs in that particular match. He further said, ‘Apart from this, it was a very good performance by Team India. The way Ishan Kishan batted and Hardik, Hardik had a great performance.

Pakistani Ehsan Adil Enters USA T20 World Cup 2026 Squad: Pakistan and America will play their second match in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. This match will be played at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo, but before this match, a player has entered the US team, who has previously played the World Cup for Pakistan. The name of that player is Ehsaan Adil. He has been included in the team as a replacement in place of Jasdeep Singh. Now there is a lot of hope that Ehsaan Adil will also be a part of America’s playing eleven in the match against Pakistan.

Played for Pakistan in 2015 ODI World Cup

Ehsan Adil has represented Pakistan in both red ball and white ball formats. He has also played World Cup for Pakistan. He was a part of the Pakistani team in the 2015 ODI World Cup. Pakistan played that ODI World Cup under the captaincy of Misbah-ul-Haq, in which Ehsan Adil took 2 wickets in 2 matches.

Will play against Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2026

Now after 11 years, Ehsaan Adil will take the field not for the Pakistan team but against it. America has included Ehsan in the team in place of Indian origin player Jasdeep Singh just before the match against Pakistan. Jasdeep Singh has been ruled out of T20 World Cup 2026 due to right shoulder injury. He suffered this injury in the warm-up match against New Zealand. Ehsan Adil was already a part of the team’s traveling reserve, but now he has come to the main squad.

Ehsan Adil can play against Pakistan

Right-arm fast bowler Ehsan Adil has played 3 Tests and 6 ODIs for Pakistan, in which he has taken a total of 9 wickets. He has taken 5 wickets in Test and 4 wickets in ODI. He has not yet made his international debut for America. It is expected that he can get this opportunity only against Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2026.

Pakistan Vs India Boycott Timeline: The controversy regarding the match to be played between India vs Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 has finally ended. The news of Pakistan government boycotting the match against India came out on 1st February and now the news of the matter ending on 9th February came out. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has accepted some demands of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in a three-party meeting held in Lahore on Sunday, February 8. Because of this, the speculations and confusion that had been going on for weeks for the T20 World Cup 2026 have come to an end. Now this big match between India and Pakistan is just waiting for the formal announcement.

Imran Khawaja resolved India-Pakistan issue

ICC deputy chairman and Singapore representative Imran Khawaja was chosen by the board as the arbitrator on this controversial issue. Imran is considered an influential figure in the ICC and holds voting rights on the board as an Associate Member Director. Mohsin Naqvi from PCB side and former player Aminul Islam from Bangladesh side participated in the meeting. Together, all three resolved this impasse and ended the uncertainty that had been going on for weeks.

What happened on which day in India-Pakistan dispute?

1 February – The Pakistan government had announced that their cricket team will play in the T20 World Cup 2026, but not against India. Until the ICC received formal confirmation from the PCB, it had warned that if Pakistan withdrew from the match, there would be serious consequences. However, Pakistan remained firm on its decision. Later, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also publicly reiterated this stance, making the boycott threat almost official. In less than ten days, the PCB’s tough stance softened. On Monday i.e. 9 February, he reversed his decision and agreed to play against India.

3 February – An informal conversation took place between ICC and PCB. ICC had intensified its efforts to organize the biggest India-Pakistan match of Group A. ICC deputy chairman Imran Khawaja and Emirates Cricket Board chairman Mubashir Usmani held several calls and meetings with PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi and PSL chief and senior advisor to Naqvi Salman Naseer. These efforts had started a week ago. These became more intense after the tweet of Pakistani government.

5 February – Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) President Shammi Silva wrote a letter to Naqvi urging him to reconsider his decision to abandon the match against India. Warned that this decision could cause serious economic crisis in Sri Lanka, because large-scale preparations have already been made for the contest. The PCB was also reminded of Sri Lanka’s past cooperation, which included touring Pakistan at a sensitive and challenging time.

6 February – According to reports, Naqvi assured his Sri Lankan counterpart that he would respond after consulting the Pakistan government.

7 February – Shortly after Pakistan’s nervous win against Netherlands in the first match of T20 World Cup 2026, a big revelation was made in a PTI report. PCB formally wrote a letter to ICC demanding implementation of the ‘Force Majeure’ clause. This attempt was to justify the boycott of the match against India. ICC was not satisfied with this and along with solid reasons, it also asked for proof that all possible solutions had been tried.

8 February – Imran Khawaja, appointed as arbitrator by the ICC, reached Lahore and held a meeting with Naqvi and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Islam. This meeting lasted for more than five hours, in which Pakistan made many demands, although both sides did not publicly disclose the outcome.

9 February (morning) – After Sri Lanka Cricket, Emirates Cricket Board also wrote a letter to PCB urging it to reconsider its stand. The ECB warned that a boycott would ‘damage the game’ and cause huge economic losses to many member countries, especially associate teams.

9 February (evening) – PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi once again met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and informed him about the discussions held in Lahore and the appeals of BCB, SLC and Emirates Cricket Board. Sharif also spoke on phone to Sri Lankan President Anuar Kumar Dissanayake, who reiterated his request to play the match with Pakistan. The Pakistani government later clarified that the purpose of reversing the boycott decision was ‘to protect the spirit of cricket and support the continuity of this global game in all participating countries.’

You have learned why Team India players thanked Suryakumar Yadav, but the country will thank him only when he wins the title of T20 World Cup 2026. It has been a special thing for Team India in the last few days that captain Suryakumar Yadav has returned to his old form in the T20 series against New Zealand.

Most Sixes in T20 World Cup History: The 10th edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is going to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka from 7th February. Many records can be seen being broken and made in this World Cup too, but, we are talking about the cricketer who has the record of hitting the most number of sixes in the history of T20 World Cup. That explosive opening batsman is none other than Chris Gayle, who is also known as ‘Universe Boss’ in world cricket. However, Chris Gayle’s journey from an ordinary player to becoming the universe boss of cricket was never easy. There was a time when he had to carry garbage even to get food.

Batsman who hit most sixes in T20 World Cup

West Indies left-handed opening batsman Chris Gayle played a total of 33 matches in the T20 World Cup from 2007 to 2021. During this period, he came to bat on the crease 31 times and hit the maximum of 63 sixes. No other batsman has hit so many sixes in the T20 World Cup. After him in this list, the name of former Indian captain Rohit Sharma is there, who has hit a total of 50 sixes in 44 innings of 47 T20 World Cup matches. England’s Jos Buttler is at third place with 43 sixes, while Australia’s David Warner is at fourth place with 40 sixes, while India’s Virat Kohli is at 5th place, who has hit 35 sixes in the T20 World Cup.

Chris Gayle’s emotional story

Even though the net worth of Chris Gayle, who made the record of hitting most sixes in the T20 World Cup, is said to be Rs 375 crore today. He may have a bungalow and a car, but there was a time when he did not even have a brick house to live in. They had to live in slums. To earn a living, he used to carry garbage and his mother used to sell chips on the streets of Jamaica, but after his entry into cricket, the whole story changed.
