India heads toward the 2026 T20 World Cup as the favorite. The tournament is being held in India, with added expectations. The team looks good on paper, but a few factors could spoil the Indian campaign. Here are some of the top concerns that the team must look into before February. 4 Problems That Could Hurt India’s T20 WC 2026 Campaign Suryakumar Yadav's Bad Form Suryakumar Yadav is among India's prized batters. India's skipper, known for his consistency, is currently struggling with his form. In 2025, Surya has played 19 T20Is in which he has scored just 218 runs at an average of 13.62 and a strike rate of just 123.16. Such class batter going through this form may put some sort of pressure on the rest of the batting order. His poor form may make it tough for the other players. India shall hope to see Surya regain his confidence before the World Cup. If he has bad days from here on, India may find the going tough in very important contests against heavyweights.

However, inconsistency has always been a concern with this pair. Of late, the Sanju has got less game time, while the playing style of Abhishek Sharma is filled with immense risk. When the top order collapses, India will depend more on Suryakumar Yadav and the middle order to lift the innings. The team would be under pressure in a situation where three or four early wickets have fallen, and competitive scores seem impossible to put on the board/chase. Tough Luck with the Toss While cricket is mainly a game of skill, it wouldn't take long for it to turn into a game of chance. Tossing the coin, dew, and conditions of the day can become sky giants in deciding the destiny of the match. For India, the last one year has been one tough luck with tosses. Winning the toss is always a game-changer, especially in conditions under the lights or on pitches affected by dew. The toss will be one thing India would want to have in its favor at the T20 World Cup 2026; as such, early victories will help dictate the game and more so, a win adds up to the equation.

Star player not communicated before snubbing from the T20 WC Squad Absence of Backup for Jasprit Bumrah Jasprit Bumrah is the spearhead of the pace attack and the most dependable bowler for India. Arshdeep Singh is a capable pacer, but sometimes get inconsistence, while Harshit Rana lacks big-match experience. In case Bumrah has a bad day, India may find it extremely difficult to contain the batters of the opposing team. The absence of a pacer who can perform under pressure like Mohammed Siraj could cost India a lot in important situations. For the tournament, the bowling lineup would require some composure and depth.
