Indian Cricket Team Has Board The Flight for India After Winning T20 World Cup
Team India players are likely to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi upon their return to the country after their triumphant T20 World Cup campaign in the West Indies. According to sources, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials are planning a meet-up with PM Modi, with most of the players expected to attend, except for Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shivam Dube. These three players are part of India’s squad for the upcoming T20I series against Zimbabwe, set to begin on July 6 in Harare.
Following India’s seven-run victory over South Africa in the T20 World Cup final, PM Modi spoke to head coach Rahul Dravid, captain Rohit Sharma, and veteran batter Virat Kohli to congratulate them on their win. This victory marks India’s first T20 World Cup title since 2007 and their first ICC trophy since the Champions Trophy in 2013 under MS Dhoni’s captaincy.
India’s final against South Africa saw them opting to bat first after winning the toss. Despite a shaky start at 35/3, Virat Kohli’s 76 and Axar Patel’s 47 helped stabilize the innings with a 72-run partnership, leading India to a total of 176/7. In response, South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen (52), Quinton de Kock (39), and Tristan Stubbs (31) fought valiantly, but India’s fine death bowling by Hardik Pandya (3/20), Jasprit Bumrah (2/20), and Arshdeep Singh (2/18) secured the win.
A highlight of the final was Suryakumar Yadav’s spectacular catch to dismiss David Miller off Hardik Pandya’s bowling in the final over. This catch shifted the momentum in India’s favor, and Hardik Pandya successfully defended 16 runs, allowing just eight runs in the over to clinch the title for India.
