Indian Cricket Team created history as they managed to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 undefeated. They gave their all in the tournament and finally managed to win an ICC trophy after 11 years. They have qualified for the final and semi final, but have not managed to cross the final hurdle. However, this time around, Rohit Sharma and co. managed to fulfil the dreams of billions of Indian people.
Team India beat South Africa by 7 runs in the nerve wrecking final against South Africa in Barbados. Virat Kohli stepped up on the day of the final with 76 runs. He along with Axar Patel helped India to reach 176 runs in their 20 overs. During the run chase, when India were down and out of the game at one stage, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh stepped up and defended the total when 30 runs were needed off 30 balls to win. Suryakumar Yadav took a sensational catch in the last over to seal the win for India in the final.
After the win, the whole nation became emotional. They have suffered for all those years when India have faltered in the semi finals and finals. However, they have never left supporting the team.
