India Wins T20 World Cup 2024, Defeats South Africa by 7 Runs

India clinched the T20 World Cup 2024 title, edging past South Africa by 7 runs in a thrilling final at the Kensington Oval, Barbados, on Saturday. This victory marks India’s first ICC title in 11 years. After the match, Virat Kohli announced his retirement from T20I cricket.

Defending a total of 176/7, India faced a daunting task as South Africa required just 30 runs off 30 balls with set batters Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller at the crease. However, the Rohit Sharma-led team produced a remarkable turnaround. Jasprit Bumrah delivered a tight four-run over, followed by Hardik Pandya dismissing Klaasen in another economical four-run over, sealing the historic win for India.
