India vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Final:
India won T20 world cup and Rohit has ended India’s 11-year trophy drought! A full delivery angles onto leg stump, the batter heaves it towards mid-wicket. Arshdeep collects after a couple of bounces. Indian players drop to their knees, visibly exhausted. Rohit Sharma lies on the ground, while Hardik kneels, tears streaming down his face, hailed as a national hero, an immortal figure for India.
Rohit Sharma walks away from the crowd, taking a moment alone. He wipes away tears, his gaze towards the heavens seeming to acknowledge a higher power. India’s cricketers, after enduring numerous heartbreaks and knockout eliminations, finally shed tears of joy. Virat Kohli, his eyes also shimmering with tears, has pursued this trophy since 2009. Now, as he approaches the twilight of his T20I career, he finally raises it aloft. The stadium reverberates with “Lehra Do” as the Indian team savors the moment, reflecting on their remarkable achievement. In a nation passionate about cricket and deeply emotional about their cricketers, tonight, India shares in one overwhelming emotion – jubilation!
Arshdeep rolled the ball back to the bowler. Pandya was visibly emotional, sobbing like a child. Rohit stretched out on the ground, then slowly rose to his feet, shaking his head. The captain of the Indian team couldn’t hide his emotions, wiping away a few tears. The support staff hurried over to join the players in heartfelt embraces and jubilant celebrations. Dravid hugged Kohli tightly, the relief visible; perhaps even he shed a tear or two. Meanwhile, in the South African camp, Miller was near the LED boundary hoardings, head bowed in disbelief. While India celebrated their victory, South Africa patiently awaited their turn to shake hands. Rohit directed his players to participate in these traditional post-match rituals. Siraj was also overwhelmed, crying profusely. Rohit shared an emotional hug with Kohli before folding his hands in a namaskar, perhaps towards someone above. These scenes epitomize the essence of elite sport.
Turning to the game, India posted 176 runs, with Virat Kohli scoring his first fifty of the tournament. Anchoring the innings after early dismissals of Rohit and Rishabh, Kohli’s masterful knock silenced any doubts about his intent. Shivam Dube and Axar Patel also made valuable contributions. In response, Hendricks fell to a superb Bumrah outswinger, and Markram followed suit cheaply. However, Stubbs countered the spinners effectively, putting South Africa in control after the powerplay. Although Stubbs departed, de Kock and Klaasen built a strong partnership. Klaasen, especially aggressive, raced to a 23-ball fifty, including a punishing 24-run over off Axar. With 30 needed off the last five overs, India’s pacers turned the tide. Hardik dismissed Klaasen, Bumrah removed Jansen, and Arshdeep bowled a superb penultimate over yielding only 4 runs. Pandya’s champion-like bowling closed out the game, securing India a narrow 7-run victory. Stay tuned for the presentations.
