Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium braces for T20 World Cup 2026 drama between India and Pakistan, with showers possibly playing spoiler. Enter MP Singh, MS Dhoni’s formative coach, who tips India as clear favorites.
In a revealing interview, Singh broke it down: ‘T20 margins are thin, but India’s superior batting, bowling, and ground fielding make us giants against Pakistan—data-driven, not hype.’ Batsmen, he said, must pick battles wisely.
USA’s resistance reminded him: ‘Plan rigorously; talent lurks everywhere.’ Venue specifics—dampness boosting swing—might help Pakistan’s prep time, but India’s class prevails.
Abhishek Sharma or not, ‘Bat deep, contribute fully over 20 overs.’ Low-scoring surface? Adapt or perish. Singh envisions fireworks ending in Indian glory.
