Talking about the T20 WC final, India opted to bat first and rode on Virat Kohli’s 76, Axar Patel’s 47 and Shivam Dube’s 27 to post 176-7. In reply, the Aiden Markram-led Proteas looked on course for an easy win, courtesy of Heinrich Klaasen’s 52, before Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya’s brilliant death-over bowling tilted the game in India’s favour. Hardik ended with 3 for 20 whereas Bumrah and Arshdeep picked two wickets each.
India won the 20-nation event, held in West Indies and the USA, to become only the third team — after West Indies and England — with two T20 WCs. In addition, they became the first side to win the mega event without a loss.
