Ind vs SA Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024 Final: We Are The Champions - Rohit Sharma's Team India Wins T20 WC After 17 Years
T20 World Cup 2024 Final, Ind vs SA Highlights: India edged past South Africa by 7 runs in the final match to clinch an ICC title after 11 years.
T20 World Cup 2024 Final Highlights: India edged past South Africa by 7 runs in the final match of T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval, Barbados on Saturday to clinch an ICC title after 11 years. After the historic win, Virat Kohli announced his T20I retirement. Defending 176/7, India's dream of ending their ICC title drought seemed all but over with South Africa needing run-a-ball 30 to win, with set batters Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller at the crease. The Rohit Sharma-led side needed something magical to turn the tide and the team actually produced one! Jasprit Bumrah bowled a four-run over before Hardik Pandya dismissed Klaasen in what was another four-run over from India.
Then, Bumrah conceded only two runs in the 18th over and removed Marco Jansen. Arshdeep Singh followed it up with a four-run penultimate over. Hardik Pandya was handed the task to bowl the final over and he got the wicket of Miller on the very first ball, thanks to Suryakumar Yadav's sensational catch at long-off. India held their nerves well and eventually won the game with a seven-run margin. Earlier, Virat Kohli anchored the Indian innings with a gritty knock as the team posted a total of 176 for 7 - the highest total by any team in the final of a men's T20 World Cup. India were reduced to 34 for 3 in 4.3 overs but a crucial 72-run stand between Kohli and Axar Patel bailed the team out of trouble. Axar fell for 47 off 31 while Kohli smashed 76 off 59. (Scorecard)

- 00:35 (IST)T20 World Cup Final Live: Markram "gutted" after loss"Gutted for the time being, it will take some time to have a good reflection on this. Hurts quite a bit, but full credit to the bowlers and everyone else in this team. We bowled well, there wasn't a lot to work with and restrict them to a chaseable total. We batted well, came down to the wire in a great game of cricket but not quite there for us today. We've seen a lot of our games, it isn't over till the last ball is bowled. We never got comfortable and there was always scoreboard pressure. Having said that, this was a really good game which proves that we were worthy finalists. Hopefully this sets us up in a really good way, we pride ourselves on competing and hopefully we can put our skill to good use," said South Africa captain Aiden Markram.
- 00:29 (IST)T20 World Cup Final Live: Here's what Rohit said -"Very hard to sum up what we have been through for the last 3-4 years. We work very hard as a team, lot has gone on behind the scenes.

But the guys understand what is to be done when the back is against the wall, we stuck together and the guys, all of us really wanted to win this really bad.

- 00:12 (IST)Jasprit Bumrah named Player of the Tournament"Usually I'm the one who tries to keep my emotions in check and get the job done but today I don't have many words, I don't usually cry after a game but the emotions are taking over. We were in trouble but we're really over the moon to win from that stage. My family is here, we came close last time and we got the job done, there's no better feeling than to get your team through in a game like this. It just felt good, tried to keep myself in a bubble and tried not to think too far ahead. When the big day comes, you have to do it, throughout the tournament I felt very clear. I always think about one ball and one over at a time, don't think too far ahead. Emotions can take over, it was taking over but you have to keep it in check but now that the game is over, it can come out and you can scream and shout. (When he was asked to bowl the 16th over) I saw the ball was a bit scuffed up and it would reverse a bit, thought which would be the most difficult shot for the batter and was able to execute it," said India's ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah.
