Welcome back to the Inbetween Overs Podcast!

The dust has settled on the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, and what a ride it was. Hosts Taran and Ishaan break down a tournament that saw India make history as the first team to successfully defend the title. But beyond the silverware, this was the "World Cup of the Associates."

In this episode, we dive into:

• The Associate Surge: Why teams like Italy, Canada, and Nepal proved that the gap is closing, featuring the incredible 100 by Canada’s 19-year-old star, Yuvraj Samra.
• The Team of the Tournament: We build our ultimate XI, featuring the dominance of Player of the Tournament Sanju Samson and the "Cheat Code" himself, Jasprit Bumrah.
• Tournament Highs & Lows: We relive the heart-stopping South Africa vs. Afghanistan double super-over and Akshar Patel’s gravity-defying catch.

As we pivot toward the IPL, we look at how this World Cup has shifted the global landscape of the game.
