Kamal Haasan wrote, “The wait is over! A win for the ages! When the going got tough, the Men in Blue showed what they are made of! The anchoring innings of King Kohli, every ball bowled by the magical hands of Jasprit Bumrah, the catch of Surya Kumar who will go down as a cricket legend! And the captaincy of Hitman Rohit Sharma! Finally, spare a thought for the silent force who guided us to this historic win. The one and only – wall-of-excellence our coach – Rahul Dravid. Who we are – the champions! Who we are – the undefeated! Who we are – India! A proud Indian (sic).”

On Saturday, June 29, India pulled off a thrilling 7-run win over South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, and lifted the trophy for the second time. The last time India tasted success was in 2007 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. The win also ended an 11-year drought of winning an ICC title for India, their last win being the Champions Trophy in 2013.
Later, Team India’s veteran cricketers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirement from T20 Internationals.
