The ICC's 2026 T20 World Cup Team of the Tournament features four players from India's championship squad, led by Player of the Tournament Sanju Samson. The victorious team's dominance is evident with Samson, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah all selected after India's 96-run final victory over New Zealand. England also earned two spots with Will Jacks and Adil Rashid making the cut.

Samson's journey from outside the starting XI to tournament MVP highlights his remarkable campaign, including a record 89 in the final and Player of the Match performances against West Indies and England. Bumrah's 4-15 in the final earned him Player of the Match honors, finishing as joint-leading wicket-taker with 14 dismissals. Pakistan's Sahibzada Farhan tops the run charts with 383 at 76.60, featuring centuries against Sri Lanka and Namibia.

Will Jacks' all-round brilliance earned him four Player of the Match awards for England, while Adil Rashid's 13 wickets at 14.15 strengthened their case. Zimbabwe's Blessing Muzarabani completes the pace attack after his 4-17 against Australia helped eliminate the defending champions.
