New Delhi: Just ahead of the IPL 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Suryakumar Yadav posted a photo with Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni on social media, inviting fans to suggest group names. The moment brought three T20 World Cup-winning captains into one frame, prompting the BCCI to float a playful nickname: The CUP-TAANS.
Fans flooded social media with ideas, and when CSK vs MI fans saw this, the BCCI quoted Surya's post and suggested a unique name: The CUP-TAANS. The post turned into a trending moment, with supporters debating who should lead the trio in future white-ball campaigns.
In a post-match discussion, Surya described the moment as dream come true: “For me, it was a dream come true because when I had thought that I would play cup cricket for India and win matches, you don’t even think that you will ever get an opportunity to lead India. But I got that one opportunity to lead India, and by God’s grace and blessings, I got the chance to lead India.” The image captures a moment of pride for Indian cricket, as fans eagerly anticipate how this leadership lineage might shape future campaigns.
The photograph underscores India’s deep arsenal of leadership experience and the excitement around the IPL 2026 clash in Chennai, where fans hope the trio’s influence translates into a productive era for India’s white-ball cricket.
