T20 World Cup: “Beating India is Impossible,” Irfan Pathan Gives Terrifying Warning to Rival Teams

Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, India’s dominant cricket form has instilled fear in teams worldwide. Former star all-rounder Irfan Pathan has made a bold statement praising Team India’s aggressive style.

“Whoever Comes Forward Will Bite the Dust”

On his YouTube channel, Pathan lauded Team India:

Unbeatable Team: “Beating this Indian team seems nearly impossible. Any team facing them will be completely demolished.”
Fearless Batting: Referencing the New Zealand series, he noted that even if a player like Sanju Samson gets out on the first ball, Indian batsmen don’t fear and smash 16 runs in that over.
No Safe Zone: Pathan said a bowler can’t feel secure even after taking a wicket against India.

Gearing Up to Rewrite History

India is on a dual mission:

Repeat Glory: Replicate the 2024 World Cup triumph.
Break the Curse: No host nation has ever won the T20 World Cup. India (co-hosting with Sri Lanka) aims to shatter this myth and create history.

World Cup Schedule

Start: February 7, 2026
Hosts: India and Sri Lanka
Final: March 8, 2026

Post-retirement of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja, the young Indian squad—with players like Abhishek Sharma and Rinku Singh— is scoring at a blistering pace (150+ in 10 overs), leaving powerhouses like Australia, England, and South Africa sleepless.
