Hussain, Atherton Declare India 'Unbeatable' in White-Ball Cricket After T20 World Cup Win
•Former England cricketers Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton hailed India as the "pre-eminent" side after their 2026 T20 World Cup final victory over New Zealand in Ahmedabad.
•India crushed New Zealand by 96 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium, becoming the first team to defend the T20 World Cup and win it at home.
•Hussain attributed India's dominance to their powerful batting line-up and Jasprit Bumrah's "absolute genius" bowling, making them "virtually unbeatable."
•Atherton emphasized India's status as the "pre-eminent white-ball side" across both T20s and ODIs, citing their record of 30 wins in 32 recent ICC global events.
•The praise comes despite a recent controversy involving Hussain and Atherton's comments on Bangladesh's T20 World Cup exclusion, which Indian fans felt targeted BCCI.
