Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Captain India Squad at 2026 Hong Kong Sixes Tournament
India will compete in the 2026 Hong Kong Sixes cricket tournament from October 30 to November 1 with a seven-member squad led by veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The team features a mix of experienced international players and IPL stars, including Krunal Pandya, Nitish Rana, T. Natarajan, Rahul Tewatia, Rahul Tripathi, and Shashank Singh. The fast-paced six-a-side format demands aggressive batting and versatile skills. India aims to improve on their 2025 performance, where they exited early despite an opening win over Pakistan.
