T20 World Cup 2024, India vs South Africa: Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya helped India snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in a high-scoring thriller in Barbados on Thursday, June 29. Rohit Sharma’s men ended India’s 11-year-long wait for an ICC crown.
Hardik Pandya turned India’s hero in the end as he successfully defended 16 runs in the last over. Hardik was not able to control the tears after India scraped past the finish line. In a heartwarming moment, captain Rohit Sharma lifted his Mumbai Indians captain.
Earlier in the day, the weather gods showed mercy on cricket lovers as rain stayed away, contrary to the forecast through the week. Rohit Sharma won the toss and did not hesitate one bit to opt to bat. The rub of green went Rohit’s way after the heartbreak of November 19 when Pat Cummins won the toss and controlled the ODI World Cup final from start to finish.
