Two-time Men’s Cricket World Cup champion crossword clue

34 Down · WSJ Crossword, September 30, 2026 · 5 letters

Answer
INDIA
INDIA (5 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Two-time Men’s Cricket World Cup champion” is INDIA. It appears as 34 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of September 30, 2026, a Wednesday puzzle titled “Classical Symmetry” by Kathleen Diamantakis & Jeff Chen, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 4 of the 15×15 grid.

The clue is a straightforward definition, so the answer is a direct synonym or a factual match for the words as written. The entry begins with I and ends with A, and contains 3 vowels and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Wednesday puzzles sit mid-week on the difficulty curve, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
