India clinched the T20 World Cup title in Ahmedabad, defeating New Zealand in the final. Captain Suryakumar Yadav expressed gratitude to the BCCI, Jay Shah, and Rohit Sharma for trusting him with leadership after the 2024 World Cup. Abhishek Sharma shared his emotional journey of self-doubt and eventual triumph, highlighting the team’s support.
Kohli's 76 (59b, 6x4, 2x6), which was his first in this tournament, and Axar Patel's 47 (31b, 1x4, 4x6) helped India overcome the early fall of skipper Rohit Sharma (9), Rishabh Pant (0) and Suryakumar Yadav (3).
Both teams had emphatic victories in the semifinals as India knocked out defending champion England with a 68-run win in Guyana and South Africa blew away Afghanistan for 56 runs in Trinidad.
