Team India on Saturday defeated South Africa in T20 World Cup 2024 final and lifted the prestigious ICC trophy after a span of 17 years. With this, Rohit Sharma became the second Indian captain to win T20 World Cup after MS Dhoni. The Men In Blue sealed the victory in the last over of the match. South Africa arguably dominated the entire match but it was Hardik Pandya dismissing Heinrich Klaasen that brought India back into the game. Thereafter, Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Marco Jansen in the 18th Over and gave away only two to three runs.
In the last over South Africa needed 16 runs with David Miller and Keshav Maharaj in the middle. However, Hardik Pandya dismissed the dangerous David Miller on the first ball of the last over. Suryakumar Yadav pulled out one of the greatest catches in World Cup history. Ultimately it was Hardik Pandya's spell in the last that not only brought India back into the match but also dismissed the dangerous Miller. In the end, South Africa needed 9 runs off the final delivery.
