Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen feels that India are the favourites to clinch the title. He also said that, considering the nature of the format, two players from any team can deliver performances to defeat their opposition.

"India are the favourites, definitely, and everyone will admit this. But in T20 cricket, anything can happen. In T20 cricket, on any given day, you can have two superstar players in the opposition who can beat you," he said.
