Faf du Plessis Predicts India as 2026 T20 World Cup Champions
Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has dropped a bombshell prediction for the 2026 T20 World Cup final. After India secured a dramatic win over England, they’re now set to battle New Zealand in the championship match. In a lightning-fast Q&A with ESPNcricinfo, du Plessis was asked to call the tournament’s winner. His quick reply? India will take the trophy home.
Why India’s Potential Win Would Be Historic
Du Plessis usually roots for South Africa, but with his team out of contention, he switched gears. If India triumphs, they’ll shatter two records: becoming the first-ever team to defend a T20 World Cup title and the first to win it on their own turf. That’s never been done before!
