Ishan Kishan praised the unity and support among players including Abhishek Sharma, saying strong camaraderie helped India retain the ICC Men's T20 World Cup on March 8, 2026, at Narendra Modi Stadium, turning internal competition into collective success.

Ahmedabad: Explosive India batter Ishan Kishan stated the strong bond among players including the likes of star opener Abhishek Sharma helped the team overcome internal competition and focus on collective success as the defending champions retained the ICC Men's T20 World Cup title at the Narendra Modi Stadium, here on Sunday.

Speaking alongside fellow opener Abhishek Sharma, Kishan emphasised that while competition for places exists in a talent-rich Indian side, the atmosphere in the dressing room encouraged players to support each other rather than see teammates as rivals.

“First of all, thank you very much. You have given us a very big gift,” Kishan said while speaking to reporters after the triumph.

“Especially at this point in time when there is a lot of bad news in the world and whenever you read the newspaper you hear the same news again and again. So thank you so much. March 8, 2026 will be remembered for many years.”
