T20 World Cup 2026: These 3 uncapped players are strong contenders for Team India

On the basis of their brilliant performances in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, some uncapped players could be strong contenders for the Indian team in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026.

According to former T20 World Cup winning Team India star Robin Uthappa, the top IPL 2025 youngsters who could earn a spot in the Indian team for the mega event are Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, and Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

However, Uthappa is of the opinion that these promising youngsters will face tough competition from Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Sanju Samson, who are already part of the T20I setup.

"Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, all of them will definitely be in contention for a World Cup spot. It's about using the remaining T20s before the tournament to figure out the best 15-man squad. You already have Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, all Test players who can also thrive in T20s," said Uthappa during a recent interaction.

"Then there's Sanju Samson. So it's going to be a challenge figuring out who makes the cut. Fitness will play a key role if you want a fully fit squad going into a World Cup, and I'm sure that's something the selectors and management will be closely monitoring," he added.
