| Modi's Special Video Message For The Indian Team On Winning The T20 World Cup - Pic:India |
Prime Minister Modi's congratulatory message highlighted the team's undefeated run throughout the tournament and praised the final as a historic match. In his social media video message, he said, "On behalf of the entire nation, congratulations to the Indian cricket team for winning the T20 World Cup. Today, 1.4 billion Indians are proud of you. The team has won the World Cup and hearts as well."
India's captain Rohit Sharma's decision to bat first after winning the toss was validated as the team set a challenging total of 176 for 7 in their 20 overs. Virat Kohli was a standout performer, earning the Player of the Match award for his crucial contributions. Despite early setbacks in their innings, India’s middle-order batting, particularly from Kohli and Axar Patel, provided the necessary runs to post a competitive score.
South Africa’s chase began poorly, losing two wickets for just 12 runs. Despite resistance from Quinton de Kock and Tristan Stubbs, and a late surge from Heinrich Klaasen, they were unable to reach the target. Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh's disciplined bowling played a key role in restricting South Africa's scoring, with Bumrah's exceptional spell earning him accolades.
This victory marks India’s second T20 World Cup title, the first being in 2007. Prime Minister Modi's message encapsulated the national pride and joy, celebrating the team's hard work and dedication that led to this historic win.
