India woke up on Sunday morning with a collective sigh of relief and a heart full of joy. After an agonizing 11-year wait for an ICC trophy, the Men in Blue, led by skipper Rohit Sharma, finally conquered the T20 World Cup in Barbados, defeating South Africa by a narrow margin of seven runs.
A farewell fit for a King: Kohli’s match-winning knock
The architect of India’s victory was none other than veteran batter Virat Kohli. In a fitting farewell to his T20 international career, Kohli smashed a match-winning 76, laying the foundation for India’s triumph in a thrilling final. His knock not only secured the coveted trophy but also marked a glorious end to his illustrious T20I journey.
The nation erupts in unbridled joy
The entire nation erupted in jubilation as the final whistle blew. Midnight celebrations echoed through the streets of major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, as fans painted the town blue, waving flags, dancing, and setting off fireworks. The infectious joy transcended physical boundaries, with Bollywood celebrities shedding tears of happiness and taking to social media to shower the team with congratulatory messages.
