AFTER 13 YEARS, A WORLD COUP: 17 years after winning the 1st T20 World Cup, 13 years after winning their 2nd ODI World Cup, and after 2 heartbreaking losses in the World Test Championship and ODI World Cup finals in 2023, India finally ended their title drought, edging out South Africa by 7 runs in a thriller that went down to the last over.
WISH TEAM INDIA ON WINNING T20 WORLD CUP<\/a>
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the 2 highest run-getters in T20Is, ended their international T20 careers.
A look at the game, in all its swinging glory:<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
    \n
  • India score 15 off the 1st over as Kohli races to 14 off 5 balls, but then tumble to 34\/3<\/li>\n
  • Kohli goes into a shell as India rebuild, eventually gets to 50 off 48 balls – his slowest T20 half-ton ever. Doesn’t hit a boundary from the 4th over to the 18th<\/li>\n
  • Promoted to No. 5, Axar Patel<\/keyword> responds with a useful 47 off 31 balls but is brilliantly run out by SA keeper Quinton de Kock<\/li>\n
  • Shivam Dube<\/keyword> contributes 27 off 16 balls even as Kohli accelerates at the death before falling for a 59-ball 76 – 1 more than his aggregate of 75 runs in 7 matches before the final<\/li>\n
  • India score 42 runs in the last 3 overs to finish at 176\/7, the highest total in a T20 WC final<\/li>\n
  • Bumrah and Arshdeep strike to reduce SA to 12\/2. Tristan Stubbs and de Kock counter-attack, and Heinrich Klaasen slams 52 off 33 balls<\/li>\n
  • Needing 30 to win off 30 balls with 6 wickets in hand, SA seem set for victory. But Hardik Pandya<\/keyword> dismisses Klaasen and India begin to extract victory from the jaws of defeat<\/li>\n
  • Bumrah (2\/18) and Arshdeep (2\/21) bowl superbly at the death. Pandya, booed throughout the IPL, has to defend 16 in the final over<\/li>\n
  • Suryakumar Yadav<\/keyword> pulls off an unbelievable catch to dismiss David Miller<\/keyword>. Rabada swings lustily but it’s a Bridge(town) too far for SA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    SKY Is Not The Limit<\/span>
    Catches win matches, goes the maxim. This one won the World Cup. With SA needing 16 in 6 balls, Miller hit Hardik for what looked like a sure sixer till Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) ran full tilt, grabbed the ball, lobbed it into the air as he went over the ropes, and then stepped back to complete a catch that became an instant legend. A couple of inches literally made all the difference for India and SA.<\/p>\n
