India Vs USA, ICC T20 World Cup 2026: Suryakumar Yadav's Unbeaten 84 Drives Hosts To Comprehensive Win

Skipper Suryakumar Yadav batted just like he does and Mohammed Siraj's incisive first spell headlined defending champions India's scratchy 29-run win against the United States of America, despite a stunning top-order collapse in the opening encounter of the T20 World Cup at Mumbai on Saturday. A veteran of many-a-battle at the Wankhede Stadium, Suryakumar's 49-ball unbeaten 84 was a blend of fine rescue act after plucky USA had India on the mat at 77 for 6 at one stage in the first half. Suryakumar's late onslaught which had 10 fours and four sixes after being dropped on 15, took India as far as 161/9. USA, in reply, finished at 132/8 in a meek response with the bat, especially in comparison to their first-innings show in which bowlers kept the high-flying Indians on a tight leash and held on to their catches.
