India beat South Africa in thriller to win T20 title

India clinched the T20 World Cup final against South Africa by 6 runs, ending their 11-year ICC trophy drought. The match took place at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, with Rohit Sharma leading India to their second T20 World Cup title. Virat Kohli's 76 runs off 59 balls and Shivam Dube's 27 in the death overs helped set a challenging total of 176/7, the highest in T20 World Cup finals history against South Africa. Key contributions came from Axar Patel with 47 runs and crucial early wickets by Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. Despite South Africa's efforts, including wickets of key Indian players by Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada, India’s bowlers maintained composure in the final overs. The wickets of Klassen and Miller brought India back into the game, ultimately leading to South Africa falling short of the target, and India celebrated a historic and thrilling triumph after 17 years. #T20WorldCupFinal #IndiaWins #Bumrah #ViratKohli #RohitSharma #AxarPatel #IndiaWinsT20WorldCup #T20WorldCupWinner #INDvsSA #CricketFinal #UnbeatenClash #IndiaCricket #SouthAfricaCricket #KensingtonOval #CricketFever #WorldCup2024 #CricketChampions #INDvsSAFinal #BigMatch #CricketLive #SportsEvent #FinalShowdown ~HT.178~PR.152~
