Another person wrote, “If Allah had to do this, then Pakistan would have won the World Cup, not India.”
In a nail-biting thriller, India defeated South Africa by seven runs in the men’s T20 World Cup final, ending their 17-year wait for the country’s second T20 World Cup title.
As the final ball was bowled, the ecstatic Indian players were overwhelmed with emotion, breaking into tears of joy. Captain Rohit Sharma celebrated by sliding face-first into the turf, screaming in delight. Tears were visible on the faces of senior players, especially Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj, and Hardik Pandya, as the magnitude of their achievement sank in.
This victory marked a historic moment, with India joining West Indies and England as the only teams to have won the Men’s T20 World Cup twice.
India now boasts four World Cup titles in total — from Kapil Dev’s legendary team in 1983 to Dhoni’s Young Guns in the 2007 T20 WC and ODI champions in 2011. Now, Rohit’s boys have added another glorious chapter to the annals of Indian cricket history, solidifying their legacy on the global stage.
