**ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Awards:** **India didn’t just win the trophy — they swept the awards too. Here’s every honour handed out at the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.**

What a night. What a tournament. When the final whistle of cricket blew at the Narendra Modi Stadium on March 8, 2026, India had done the unthinkable — winning their **third T20 World Cup title**, defending the crown, and doing it on home soil. But beyond the trophy, the individual battles across the tournament produced some jaw-dropping performances that deserve their own spotlight.

From a wicketkeeper-batsman finding his destiny to the world’s best bowler being, well, the world’s best bowler — here’s the complete list of [ICC T20 World Cup 2026](https://www.icc-cricket.com/tournaments/mens-t20-worldcup) award winners.

## Bumrah: The Man Who Made the Final His Own

There are match-winning performances, and then there are Jasprit Bumrah performances. In the final against New Zealand, Bumrah returned figures of **4 wickets for just 15 runs** — a spell that essentially ended New Zealand’s chase before it even began. He also finished as the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with **14 scalps**, boasting the best economy rate among all frontline bowlers. This is what peak fast bowling looks like.

According to the [ICC official rankings](https://www.icc-cricket.com/rankings/mens/player-rankings/t20i), Bumrah has long been the gold standard in T20 cricket — and this tournament was proof once again.

## Sanju Samson: A Dream Fulfilled

If there’s one story that’ll make you believe in persistence, it’s Sanju Samson’s. The Kerala keeper-batter was famously left out of the 2024 World Cup-winning XI despite being in the squad — a heartbreak that would have broken lesser men. But he came back stronger, scoring **321 runs at a staggering average of 80.25 and strike rate of 199.37**, also clearing the fence 24 times — the most sixes of any batter in the tournament.

After receiving the Player of the Tournament honour, Samson revealed that guidance from **Sachin Tendulkar** helped him mentally rebuild. A dream, indeed, that took years to sink in.

## Pakistan’s Farhan Shines Despite Early Exit

Not every story ends in glory, but Sahibzada Farhan’s tournament run deserves immense credit. The Pakistan opener finished as the **tournament’s highest run-scorer with 383 runs** — a remarkable feat considering Pakistan’s early exit. It’s the kind of performance that serves as a reminder: individual brilliance and team success don’t always walk hand in hand.

## India’s Dominant Haul — A Fitting Reflection

India’s dominance across the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Award categories isn’t a coincidence. It’s the product of a squad that fired as a unit throughout the tournament. With [Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy](https://technosports.co.in/suryakumar-yadav-india-t20-captain) complementing the firepower of Samson and Bumrah, this was a complete team performance that history will remember fondly.
