India delivered a brilliant performance to narrowly defeat South Africa by just seven runs in a dramatic men’s T20 World Cup final, ending a long 13-year wait for the cricket-obsessed nation since their last World Cup victory. In the previous edition of the tournament in 2022, the Men in Blue reached the semi-finals but faced defeat from England, who went on to claim the title. Notably, India clinched their first T20 World Cup title in the inaugural edition of the tournament back in 2007, under the leadership of MS Dhoni. The squad at that time boasted legends like Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Yusuf Pathan, and other star players.
However, India have ended their 16 years drought since India last lifted the T20 World Cup trophy, and won their second title win. The team’s journey to this tournament followed by a heart-breaking defeat in the ODI World Cup 2023 final against Australia.
