Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya in Tears After India Win T20 World Cup 2024 Title Beating South Africa In Final – WATCH

New Delhi: Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya were in tears after India defeated South Africa by seven runs in a thrilling T20 World Cup 2024 final in Barbados on Saturday. Batting first, India rode on 76 from Virat Kohli and Axar Patel’s 47 to post 176/7. In reply, Hardik Pandya did the star turn by dismissing a marauding Heinrich Klaasen and defend 16 runs in the final over to restrict the opposition to 169/8.

It was India’s second T20 World Cup victory after they had won it in 2007 under the legendary MS Dhoni in South Africa, and first since winning the Champions Trophy in 2013. Star batter Virat Kohli, who was an upcoming cricketer 17 years ago, made his first fifty of this tournament in the final — a classy 76 off 59 balls with six fours and two sixes.
