Description

Saturday, June 29 will be remembered for ages in Indian cricket history. It was an emotional moment for many, who had witnessed heartbreak after heartbreak over the last decade. Rohit Sharma’s India ended an 11-year wait for the International Cricket Council (ICC title), beating South Africa in one of the most thrilling finals in the history of men’s T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma led from the front throughout the campaign. Virat Kohli stepped up when it mattered the most -- in the final. And head coach Rahul Dravid signed off on a high, singing a redemption story in the Caribbean. Every decision that the team management and selectors took in terms of the T20 World Cup paid off, resulting in India winning their second T20 World Cup crown. It was not easy being Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli in the last 3-4 years. Rohit Sharma was gutted and heartbroken after the ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad. An entire nation felt the pain. Dravid’s credentials as a T20I coach were questioned in 2022. Virat Kohli’s place in the World Cup squad was questioned when he was brought back to the T20I side in January. All of them proved their naysayers wrong. Rohit and Kohli signed off from T20Is at the right time. Dravid ended his coaching stint on a high. There were other heroes as well. Jasprit Bumrah stood out from the rest and showed why he is one of the best in the world. Arshdeep Singh stepped up and came up with a record performance that will be remembered for the ages. Axar Patel emerged as India’s new all-round hero. Suryakumar Yadav chipped in with crucial contributions. It was a complete team effort. What next for India? Will Gautam Gambhir take over? Should Hardik Pandya replace Rohit Sharma as the T20I captain? Akshay Ramesh, Saurabh Kumar and Alan Jose John celebrate India’s T20 World Cup triumph and issue an unconditional apology as well. Tune In! Produced and Mixed By Sachin Dwivedi
