Virat Kohli, playing the anchor role, stabilized the innings and helped India post a competitive total of 176 runs. Though some criticized Kohli for being overly defensive at times, his resilience was crucial to India&#8217;s total.<\/p>\n<p>India got off to a dream start with the ball as Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Reeza Hendricks with just seven runs on the board, followed by Arshdeep Singh taking out Aiden Markram with twelve runs on the board. Despite this strong start, South Africa\u2019s Stubbs and de Kock steadied the innings, with Klassen entering a destructive mode, punishing the spinners relentlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Rohit Sharma\u2019s decision to persist with spin backfired initially, but the game took a turn when Hardik Pandya removed Klassen, who had taken South Africa to 151 runs, needing only 27 more to win.<\/p>\n<p>Bumrah was brought back at a critical juncture in the sixteenth over, successfully stemming the flow of runs and creating pressure. Hardik Pandya, tasked with bowling the final over with South Africa needing sixteen runs, delivered brilliantly. He dismissed the dangerous David Miller on the first ball, thanks to a sensational catch by Surya Kumar Yadav, which will be remembered as one of the best in cricket history. Hardik conceded just seven runs in the final over, sealing the victory for Team India.<\/p>\n<p>The Proteas were left to rue their missed opportunity, having choked at the crucial moment. However, credit must be given to Team India for maintaining their composure under pressure and achieving a historic victory. Finally, the long-awaited dream came true, and the drought has ended.<a title=\"Controversial Figure Emerges as the Most Talked-About Personality in IPL 2024?\" href=\"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/controversial-figure-emerges-as-the-most-talked-about-personality-in-ipl-2024\/\">Read more..<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team India scripted history in Barbados by winning the T20 World Cup Final, ending a seventeen-year wait for a T20 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2458,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2457"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapusangam.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
