India’s 11-year wait for an ICC trophy finally came to an end as the Men in Blue emerged victorious against South Africa in a thrilling final at Barbados on June 29. The seven-run win was orchestrated by the brilliant performances of Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah.
Kohli’s masterful innings of 76 runs propelled India to a competitive total of 176/7 in their allotted 20 overs.

Their relentless bowling attack restricted the Proteas to 169/8, snatching the match from a losing position and securing a memorable triumph for India.
