Just like he plays his cricket and provides joy to fans all over the world, India’s reigning ICC Men’s T20 World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma has advised Suryakumar Yadav and his team to “enjoy” next year’s home World Cup while defending the title.

On Tuesday, Sharma was named brand ambassador of the 10th edition which will have 55 matches between 20 teams across five Indian and three Sri Lankan centres from February 7 to March 8, 2026. Having played in each of the previous nine T20 World Cups, Sharma has since retired from the format after leading India to the title in the West Indies and USA last year.
