IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2024 Thriller:
Team India has recorded a historic victory in the T20 World Cup final. Under Rohit Sharma's captaincy, they edged out South Africa to take home the trophy. The final saw India snatch the victory from South Africa's grasp by a mere 7 runs in a nail-biting finish. Captain Rohit Sharma expressed his and millions of Indian fans' long-awaited joy for this golden moment.
After the victory, Rohit Sharma remarked, 'Words fail to capture the trials we've endured over the past 3-4 years. Honestly, we've poured immense personal and collective effort behind the scenes. Reaching here and winning this match has everything to do with our work over the last few years, not just today. We have played many high-pressure matches and been on the wrong side too. But the players know what needs to be done.'
On his team's pride, Sharma added, 'Today exemplifies what's required when up against the wall. Every player worked in unison as a team. We aimed to win this. A win like this in such a tournament involves much behind-the-scenes effort and hard work. I'm immensely proud of my fellow players and also of our management, who gave us the freedom to play, perform, and placed trust in every one of us. It starts with management, coaches, captains, and then we, the players, execute on the field.'
Virat's Form Was Never in Doubt:
Sharma believes the whole team displayed fantastic performance throughout the tournament. 'No one doubted Virat's form. We know his caliber; he has been top of his game for 15 years. Big players stand up when it matters, and Virat was pivotal, holding one end. It was crucial for a player to bat as long as possible, and Virat did it splendidly. These aren't pitches where you bat freely; Virat's experience became vital. The rest played well too, Axar's innings of 47 was significant.'
A Salute to the Fans:
The captain shared, 'Having seen and played alongside Bumrah for many years, his mastery is undeniable. Bumrah backs his skills, which are more than enough. In one word, Bumrah is a class act. Hardik too was exceptional, and bowling in the last over, no matter the runs needed, is always tough. From New York to Barbados, I salute the fans for their support, not just here but also in India, where millions stayed up late. They've been waiting just like us. This triumph is for them. Today, we take great pride in what we've accomplished.'
