Team India celebrates T20 World Cup
Yesterday, India defeated South Africa by seven runs in a nail-biting thriller in the men’s T20 World Cup final, ending their 17-year wait for the country’s second T20 World Cup.
Following the final ball, the ecstatic Indian players broke into tears with emotions pouring out in full flow.
Captain Rohit Sharma was seen sliding into the turf, face first, as he screamed in delight. Tears could be seen on the faces of senior players, especially for the likes of Sharma, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj, and Hardik Pandya.
This victory marked a historic moment, with India joining West Indies and England as the only teams to have won the Men’s T20 World Cup twice.
This is India’s fourth World Cup title overall — from Kapil Dev’s team in 1983 to Dhoni’s Young Guns in the 2007 T20 WC and ODI champions in 2011. Now Rohit’s boys have added another chapter to the annals of Indian cricket history.
