India! India! India! India! Not just those inside the stadium, but the whole countrymen can now feel the rhythm
ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Winner, IND vs SA Final: 17 years! After almost two decades the Men in Blue have brought back the ICC T20 World Cup trophy as they defeated the Proteas in the final of the 2024 Cup. With this, India has not only won the World Cup but also scripted a new chapter in the history of Indian cricket as it has become the only team to have won the World Cup with an undefeated journey throughout the mega event. It was Kohli's "Virat" innings, Axar Patel's "X" factor, and the perfect job of the bowling unit that led India to the magnificent win that history will remember.
India won the toss and elected to bat first with early wickets in the powerplay. After Rohit Sharma (9), Rishabh Pant (0), and Suryakumar Yadav (3) returned to the pavilion, Virat Kohli took charge and Axar Patel assisted him in the mission recovery. The partnership between Virat (76) and Axar (47) put India into a strong position from where even Shivam Dube played a small cameo of 27 runs off 16 balls.
Men in Blue put in a huge total of 176 runs which could not have been enough if Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh hadn't sent back Reeza Hendricks (4) and Aiden Markram (4) in the powerplay, respectively.
Later on, Quinton De Kock and Tristan Stubbs were trying to shift the momentum back to the South Africa side but Axar Patel gave it back by sending Stubbs back to the pavilion. Later, Henrich Klassein joined the party and smashed a destructive half century that almost shifted the momentum to South Africa.
However, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya shifted the momentum back to India as they dismissed De Kock and Klassein, respectively. The Indian bowling unit showed a collaborative and impressive performance as they kept on taking the wickets and taking the team to victory.
All in all, the Indians would now definitely say "Good Night" because it is actually a good night and it couldn't have been better. Let's congratulate Team India for making the whole nation proud, winning it for the country, and bringing back the trophy home.
