India ended an 11-year ICC trophy drought and won the T20 World Cup for the second time in history, defeating South Africa by 7 runs.
On June 29, 2024, India's men's cricket team has won the T20 World Cup 2024. Indian bowlers, particularly Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and Arshdeep Singh, remained composed in the final seconds as India ended an 11-year ICC trophy drought and won the T20 World Cup for the second time in history, defeating South Africa by 7 runs. Virat Kohli tallied 76 runs. Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav's picture with his wife sleeping with the WC trophy is going viral.

β Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra)Surya Kumar Yadav's controversial WC catch
South Africa appeared to have won the victory with 30 runs needed from 30 balls but Suryakumar Yadav delivered a fantastic 'clutch moment', catching a stunning boundary-rope catch on a drive made by David Miller to swing the game in India's favor. The game was certainly match-defining, however, some fans believe Surya's foot touched the rope while making the catch.
This certainly deserved more than one look, just saying. Boundary rope looks like it clearly moves. π€· pic.twitter.com/ulWyT5IJxy
