By A Draft Correspondent
In a thrilling finale that left cricket fans on the edge of their seats, India clinched the ICC T20 World Cup Trophy in 2024. Their victory was not just a triumph; it was a record-breaking feat that etched the country's name in cricket history.
To begin with, India emerged as the only team in the T20 World Cup so far to win the tournament undefeated.
Of the eight matches India played, they won all of them and had one washout against Canada in the first round, displaying remarkable consistency and dominance.
India also joined England and West Indies as the only sides with two T20 World Cup titles.
India's batting prowess reached new heights in the final. Facing off against South Africa, they posted a colossal total — the highest ever in a T20 World Cup final.
Thanks to Virat Kohli and Axar Patel's partnership, India set the highest total in a T20 World Cup final with 176 for seven wickets.
Led by Rohit Sharma, India's batsmen unleashed a relentless assault, amassing runs with precision and power.
While India's batsmen stole the limelight, their bowlers played a crucial role. Jasprit Bumrah's fiery pace, Arshdeep Singh's swing, and the bowling wizardry of Hardik Pandya kept the opponents in check.
Rohit Sharma, the "Hitman", was in scintillating form , accumulating 248 runs in the tournament, including three half-centuries. His strike rate of 155.97 showcased his ability to accelerate when needed.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has achieved a unique feat by participating in all nine editions of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. He shares this distinction with only one other player, Shakib Al Hasan from Bangladesh.
He also became the first player to win the trophy both as a player and as a captain. Rohit's leadership skills have been exceptional in the T20 format. He has become the first captain in the history of T20 International cricket to secure 50 victories while leading the team.
India's T20 World Cup victory was a symphony of skill, teamwork, and record-breaking performances. As the tricolour flag fluttered high, cricket enthusiasts celebrated a historic moment — one that will echo through stadiums and conversations for years to come.
