He said, India batted first, scoring 177 runs in their 20 overs, anchored by crucial innings from Virat Kohli and other key players. South Africa made a strong start in their chase, needing just 16 runs off the last over, threatening India’s hopes.

In a dramatic twist, bowler Hardik Pandya emerged as the hero by dismissing David Miller with a game-changing delivery that swung momentum India’s way.

Reflecting on the team’s journey, Rohit Sharma pointed out the strategic adjustments that proved decisive. “After our semi-final loss in 2022, we adopted a fearless approach. This win reflects the team’s belief and unity,” Sharma noted in a post-match interview.

Emerging talents like Shubman Gill and Shivam Dube are expected to carry forward the legacy of their predecessors. With several senior players announcing retirement post-tournament, including Sharma and Kohli, the spotlight shifts to the next generation tasked with maintaining India’s dominance in international cricket.
