India won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 to end their 11-year-long wait for an ICC title.
One year ago, India Cricket Team won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 by defeating South Africa in the final. The Rohit Sharma-led India outplayed the Proteas by seven runs in a nail-biting final on June 29, 2024 at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados.
With the victory, India also ended their 11-year-long wait for an International Cricket Council (ICC) title. Virat Kohli played a crucial role with the bat in the encounter, scoring 76 runs after India lost three quick wickets at the start. Axar Patel slammed a quickfire 47 runs to help India reach 176/7 in the first innings.
Later, the Men in Blue restricted South Africa to 169/8 in the second innings to win the encounter. Hardik Pandya bowled a brilliant final over and defended 16 runs. However, it was Suryakumar Yadav’s incredible catch near the boundary to dismiss David Miller that turned the match completely in India’s favour.
