The Men in Blue are aiming to end their ICC trophy drought since the 2013 Champions Trophy and secure their first T20 World Cup title since the inaugural edition in 2007.
Both South Africa and India have remained unbeaten in the 2024 T20 World Cup, showcasing impressive performances throughout the event. However, no team in the history of the T20 World Cup has ever won the tournament without losing a single match.
The two teams have had contrasting journeys to the final. The Rohit Sharma-led side has dominated all their opponents, including heavyweights like Australia, Pakistan, and England. In contrast, the Proteas have had several close calls, narrowly escaping defeats against Bangladesh and Nepal in the group stage. Their final Super 8 match against co-hosts West Indies saw them nearly exit the tournament while chasing a revised target of 123.
India’s Squad: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
