India’s star batters Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan shared a hilarious moment in the course of the post-match press conference following India’s 96-run victory over Latest Zealand within the T20 World Cup 2026 final. Each players played key roles in the ultimate – Abhishek scored 52 off 21 balls, while Kishan hit 54 off 25 deliveries.
Ahead of the ultimate, Abhishek Sharma got here under the scanner on account of a rough patch that included three consecutive geese as well. Kishan, alternatively, had been neglected by selectors for greater than two years before returing earlier this yr against Latest Zealand.
Throughout the press conference, they each was asked how they handled their individual setbacks as well.
“I believe I can provide a greater answer to this query straight away,” Abhishek began. Kishan immediately interrupted, saying, “Predominant bhi de sakta hoon (I can even answer).”

He further added, “Tera ek mahina form gaya tha, major do saal bahar raha hoon (You were off form for one month; I used to be out of the team for 2 years).”
Abhishek Sharma then replied with a smile, “That one month felt like one and a half years to me,” referring to his failures within the tournament.
Other than this funny banter, the BCCI shared a video on its platform where they spoke candidly in regards to the emotions behind India’s title-winning as well.
“Hosting nation never won the World Cup, and here we’re,” Ishan Kishan said within the bcci.television video. “We played with all our hearts. Throughout the tournament, we were in a excellent headspace, we backed one another, and that’s what the India team is all about.”
“It was the last time on the 2023 World Cup; I used to be there, and we were all crying within the dressing room. But that is how things turn around. We played a excellent game-credit goes to everyone, the support staff, and all those that were with us. And today, here we’re, lifting the trophy. We hope to do it again.”
