That is it from the final of T20 World Cup 2024, folks! India bring home an ICC title after an 11-year wait. Enjoy the moment to the fullest. With this, we wrap this up. Keep following NDTV Sports for more.

Virat Kohli, who has just announced his retirement from T20Is, has won the Player of the Match in the final. What a fantastic end to an illustrious career in the format for Kohli this is! India were in trouble but he turned things up for them with a gritty 76 off 59 balls.

"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.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah also could not hold his emotions, he greets the players. He hugs Hardik Pandya and lifts him for some seconds. Hardik now has an Indian flag in hand while Mohammed Siraj still can't hold his tears while appearing in front of camera for a short interaction.

India win an ICC title after 11 years. A World Cup after 13 years and a T20 World Cup after 17 years. Rohit Sharma was spotted getting emotional right after India's win. One can also spot Mohammed Siraj in tears as well. So much that his face looks red now. Rohit and Virat also hugged each other to give the cricket fans another heartwarming moment. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya continues to cry and now he has been given a towel to wipe it off. I doubt it will work.

India have won this game by 7 runs. What a thriller it was! This is majestic, this is exceptional, this is unbelievable. India bring an ICC title home after 11 years. Hardik Pandya, who was given the task to bowl the final over, is crying. A historic moment this is in Indian cricket!

Another single and SA now need 10 off 2 balls. Hardik Pandya is having a chat with Rohit.

Kagiso Rabada got a leading edge on Hardik's second delivery that flew through the slip for a four. A single as bye came off the next ball.

It seems that Suryakumar Yadav has taken a screamer here! A sensational effort from him on long-off. Umpires are checking it and it seems like a clean catch. David Miller has to depart. SA need 16 off 5 balls.

This match still hangs in the balance, though India might be having a slight edge. Only 4 runs came off the penultimate over bowled by Arshdeep Singh. South Africa need 16 off the final over. David Miller will be on strike. What a final this is! A perfect thriller! 6 more balls to go and we don't know who is going to win this. 

SA 157/6 (18)

There is the wicket India badly needed. Hardik Pandya has outfoxed Heinrich Klaasen. But is it too late for India now? South Africa need 26 runs in 23 balls. Coming to the wicket, Hardik bowled a slower ball near the tramline and Klaasen edged it to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. He fell for 52 off 27. 

SA 151/4 (16)

SA 147/4 (15)

SA 123/4 (14)

SA 109/4 (13)

SA 106/4 (12.3)

Heinrich Klaasen smashed a superb six on the third ball of Ravindra Jadeja's over. It was bowled in the slot by Jadeja and Klaasen muscled it over long-off for a biggie. 12 came off the over. South Africa need 84 runs in 54 balls.

10 runs came off Hardik Pandya's first over. South Africa are 81 for 3 at the end of the 10 overs. They need 96 in the remaining 10 overs. This match hangs in the balance at the moment. India were 75 for 3 at this stage in their innings.

SA 70/3 (8.5)

A slog sweep from Quinton de Kock for a big six. That came right from the middle of his bat. Kuldeep Yadav tossed it up and de Kock slammed it away for a biggie. A total of 13 runs came off the over. South Africa look in control at this moment. They need 115 runs in 72 balls. 

Axar Patel was hit for a four by Tristan Stubbs on the third ball of his over but he made a brilliant comeback by conceding only one in the next three balls. He gave away a single to Stubbs before bowling two dot balls to Quinton de Kock. 7 came off the over. South Africa need 128 runs in 78 balls. 

SA 42/2 (6)

SA 22/2 (4)

SA 14/2 (3)

Aiden Markram is gone! It was a fuller ball from Arshdeep Singh and Markram chased it for a drive. He edged the ball and Rishabh Pant took a good catch diving to his right. India are on top of this game at the moment.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled a peaach of a delivery to rattle the top of off stump of Reeza Hendricks. It was bowled at length and the ball shaped away from Hendricks after pitching. Enough swing on it to beat the batter's outside edge and hit the stumps. The wicket came on the third ball of the over.

South Africa have started the chase. 6 runs came off Arshdeep's first over.

India have managed to post a fighting total on the board. This pitch is good to bat on so this is not too big a score to chase for South Africa. For the record, this is the highest total by any team in the final of men's T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli top-scored for India with a 76-run knock off 59 balls while Keshav Maharaj was the pick of the bowlers for the Proteas with figures of 2 for 23. 

Virat Kohli failed to time this one and he holed it out to long-on. Kohli departed at his individual score of 76 off 59 balls. The wicket came on the fifth ball of the over. Hardik Pandya came in as next batter and found a lucky top edge that flew over the wicketkeeper's head for a four. 17 runs came off the penultimate over. India are reaching towards a good total. Can they cross 180?

Right in the slot and Virat Kohli heaves it over the long-on for a biggie. It was a slower ball from Jansen and Kohli has muscled it away for a 95-metre six. The cricketing genius is at its best now. South Africa can feel the feat. There are still 10 balls remaining in the game.

16 runs came off Kagiso Rabada's final over. Virat Kohli hit a six and a four in it. Rabada finished his quota of four overs with figures of 1 for 36. More two overs remaining in the game and India could still cross 180.

There is the first one from the bat of Virat Kohli. Kagiso Rabada went tad fuller and Kohli smashed it over long-on for a biggie. This is the first six from the bat of Kohli in this innings. 

Virat Kohli raced to his half-century in 48 balls. He needs to take his chances now and increase his strike rate or this innings is going to be a topic of talk for a long-long time for all the wrong reasons.
