Another June, another World Cup for India.
June 29, 2024, is going down in history with June 25, 1983, as Indian Cricket Team’s day. Yesterday, India won the T20 World Cup 2024 beating South Africa by mere 7 runs. This match was exactly what finals are made of. Both the teams kept alternating as the dominant side throughout the game.
With this victory, Rohit Sharma became only the third Indian captain, following MS Dhoni and Kapil Dev, to win an ICC Men’s World Cup (ODI/T20I). Virat Kohli was declared ‘Player of the Match’ for smashing 76 runs which helped India post 176 runs on the scoreboard, the highest-ever score registered in a T20 World Cup.
