Rohit Sharma mother post on virat kohli

Even after a few days have passed, India is still rejoicing about how it stunningly won the T20 cricket World Cup. The story of the match sounds like a dramatic tale. Similarly, like the suspenseful ends of a movie, the story has many turns. It all turned into a triumph when South African all-rounder Anrich Nortje misplayed the last delivery and managed only a single run.

Though India had been the most dominant side since, this moment of glory occurred seven months after the team’s heartbreaking loss to Australia in the ICC Men’s World Cup played in Ahmedabad on November 19, 2023. For cricket fans around the country, the win comes with a relief-filled night.

Virat Kohli’s crucial 76 runs and strong bowling efforts from Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah secured an entertaining seven-run victory. During the celebrations, players became emotional and embraced their colleagues. Having just completed his final assignment as a coach, coach Rahul Dravid was equally moved.
