Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had issued a video message late Saturday night congratulating Team India for the victory. In this, he said, 'Congratulations to Team India on behalf of all the countrymen on this spectacular victory in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Today 140 crore Indians will be proud of your performance. You won the World Cup on the playing field, but your performance in the competition won the hearts of millions of Indian citizens.
Let us tell you that Team India won the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 title by defeating South Africa by 7 runs in a thrilling match played in Barbados on Saturday, but Hardik Pandya needed 30 runs in 30 balls, but Hardik Pandya took 3-20 and Jasprit Bumrah's 2-18 helped an invincible India win their second title in the shortest format with a seven-run win at Kensington Oval on Saturday.
Charismatic batsman Virat Kohli put an end to his poor form and scored 76 runs in 59 balls to help India post a competitive score of 176/7. In response, South Africa tried hard to chase the target. But Hardik brought India back into the match by dismissing Heinrich Klaasen and restricted South Africa to 169/8, ending an 11-year global trophy drought.
