Dravid, who announced the T20 World Cup 2024 as his last assignment with the national team, celebrated a fitting farewell. Under his guidance since 2021, India achieved significant milestones, including reaching the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022 and finishing as runners-up in the ODI World Cup 2023 and World Test Championship 2023.<\/p>\n

In the final match, India posted a competitive total of 176 for 7, anchored by Virat Kohli<\/a>‘s resilient 76 off 59 balls and supported by Axar Patel’s quickfire contribution. India successfully defended the total, with Hardik Pandya<\/a>‘s composed final over securing the victory.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Modi commended Team India<\/a>‘s performance, emphasizing their skill and spirit throughout the tournament. He highlighted the leadership of captain Rohit Sharma<\/a>, applauding his aggressive mindset and tactical acumen.<\/p>\n

“Dear @ImRo45, You are excellence personified. Your aggressive mindset, batting, and captaincy has given a new dimension to the Indian team,” PM Modi tweeted.<\/p>\n

With this victory, India secured its second T20 World Cup title, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s cricketing history. The team’s performance in the tournament has rekindled hopes for future successes under evolving leadership and strategic coaching.<\/p>\n

Recapping the match, India chose to bat first after winning the toss and recovered from an early setback to set a challenging target. South Africa, in reply, faltered despite valiant efforts from their batsmen, falling short of India’s total by 7 runs.<\/p>\n

Virat Kohli’s stellar performance earned him the ‘Player of the Match’ award, reflecting his crucial role in India’s triumph. The victory not only ends India’s ICC trophy drought since the Champions Trophy in 2013 but also underscores the team’s resilience and determination on the global stage.<\/p>\n
