Because it ends the game in 3.5-4 hours at most! That's why it's gaining equal popularity with football. It's not too long ago that this new version of cricket has emerged! But it's its Within a short period of time, cricket has become very popular among fans!
India's popular cricketer and world's best batsman Virat Kohli is at the top of the list of highest run scorers in this edition of World Cup. He has scored 1,292 runs in this edition of World Cup. World's best all-rounder is at the top of the list of highest wicket takers. Shakib Al Hasan is the popular cricketer of Bangladesh. His wickets are the most in this edition of the World Cup!

Three teams, West Indies (2012, 2016), England (2010, 2022) and India (2007, 2024) have won the competition twice each. Pakistan (2009), Sri Lanka (2014), and Australia (2021) have one title each.
Now let's come to the main point. India and South Africa made it to the finals of this World Cup. Even though both teams lost their knockout matches, they choked! These incidents became a regular thing in every tournament. That's why cricket fans nicknamed these 2 teams Chokers. .But it is unbelievable that South Africa reached the final for the first time in their cricket history and played the final. They used to reach the highest semi and went home. That's why the fans gave them the title Chokers forever. This time they got a chance to erase this bad title! On the other hand, India have been playing with recent chokers for the last 11 years. However, their condition is not as bad as South Africa. They have played the semi-finals and finals of the major ICC events and tournaments many times! But still, they did not have Saturn in the last 11 years. There was no way they could win their titles! They would have choked in the semi-final or final of the event! They could not become champions! So this was a golden opportunity for them to erase and destroy their bad reputation!

It was the clash between two big titans teams!Both the teams were equally strong!It was clear that no one would be willing to concede a single hair/point to anyone.In the group stage India was in Group-A.India's opponents in that group were respectively Their arch-rivals Pakistan, USA, Canada and IRELAND. India won 3 out of the 4 matches scheduled for them. The remaining match against Canada was abandoned due to rain and both teams were content with sharing the points with 1 point each and were group champions and undefeated in the 2nd round. It means entering the 2nd group stage/Super Eight. On the other hand, in the group stage, South Africa was in Group-D. In that group, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Netherlands and Nepal were respectively the opponents of South Africa. The interesting thing here is that South Africa has their own nerves in all their matches. By holding all the close close matches and being able to take out the group champion and undefeated, the 2nd round means the 2nd group stage/Super Eight!
In the matches of Super Eight/Second group stage, India falls into the group of Group-1. In the Super Eight, India has one of the title contenders of the tournament, former world champion Favorite Mighty Australia, Dark Horse Afghanistan and Dark Horse Afghanistan as their opponents in the Super Eight. Our favorite hope is Underdog Bangladesh. On the other hand, in the matches of Super Eight/Second group stage, South Africa falls into Group-2 group. South Africa has as opponent in their group in Super Eight, one of the title contenders, the previous champion, defending champion and one of the favorite of the tournament. England, taking part in the tournament for the first time and having the opportunity to host and play the USA and the former world champion and another host country West Indies. As usual and coincidentally in both the groups India from Group-1 and South Africa from Group-2 did not give the opponent a single chance to win. Nastanabood and Dumde Mochde undefeated group champions and advanced to Semifinal.
In Semifinal-1, South Africa take on Afghanistan, who are playing in a semi-final for the first time in a major ICC event, as their opponents.But unfortunately, South Africa won against Afghanistan by a big margin and went to the final for the first time in their cricket history. Batting first, Afghanistan were bowled out for just 56 runs after playing 11.5 overs. .reached the set target of 57 runs in 5 overs and left the field with a huge victory by 9 wickets. Afghanistan's batting collapse was the main reason for their loss. Also, mainly the pressure of big matches like semi-finals and inexperience of not playing regularly against big teams like South Africa and South Africa. Afghanistan lost to the experience of Africa. On the other hand, India faced England in the 2nd semi-final. They had the same opponent in the semi-final of the previous season and India suffered a huge defeat by 10 wickets against England and England went on to become the world champions. So it is one for India too. It was a huge opportunity for them to erase the gloom of the previous season's failure and go to the final by defeating England and take sweet revenge by defeating them. score. Not being able to play the entire 20 overs, they lost 10 wickets for 103 runs in just 16.4 overs and were all out to India. In this match, the Indian spinners showed great skill to snatch the victory and India won their ICC T20 WC. Qualified to play in the finals for the 3rd time in history.

To open the innings for India, "Hitman" Rohit Sharma and "King Kohli" Virat Kohli came to the opening respectively. Rohit Sharma stayed at the striking end and Virat Kohli stood at the non-striking end. On the other hand, South African captain Aiden Markram started the bowling innings for South Africa. The ball was given to the young bowler Marco Jansen at the beginning. He started bowling from over the wicket. Rohit opened the run book with just 1 run in the 1st ball and sent Kohli on strike. In the 2nd ball of the over, a beautiful, spectacular, beautiful cover drive shot. Kohli hit the ball out of bounds by hitting these four. Similarly, in the 3rd ball of the innings, Kohli played the same shot in the same over, but this time on the leg side and got a boundary. In the 4th ball, he took 2 runs and returned to striking again by striking rotation. The 5th ball was a dot ball. The end of the over. Ball number 6 hit a spectacular boundary again but this time on a straight drive shot. His shot was reminding me again and again in the words of one person that he is none other than little master, master blaster, Cricket God Sachin Tendulkar. India scored 15 runs in the 1st over, which It gave them a flying start. Among them, 14 runs came to Kohli's benefit.

Due to miss timing, he caught the wicket keeper Quinton de Kock behind the wicket. He got out for 0 runs in 2 balls and walked to the pavilion. Losing 2 big batsmen of the top order, India fell into some trouble, pressure and danger at the beginning! They needed someone who can build up the innings and play for innings. Who can basically play the anchoring role. He is none other than Virat. Kohli could do it! Even though he was a shadow of himself throughout the tournament, flopped, out of form, the Indian team management trusted him for his experience and he was a big match player and they also believed that Kohli was a World Cup finalist. He will win the team by performing on the big stage and he has that ability. There was no doubt in their minds about this. Then Suryakumar Yadav came to the wicket.

In 13.3 overs of the same over, Rabada's delivery in 13.3 overs dramatically led to a misunderstanding with Kohli and Axar was run out and returned to the dressing room. Axar's amazing innings came to a very disappointing end. Through run out. He was run out by South African wicketkeeper de Kock. Axar was out for 47(31). India's scorecard was 106-4 in 13.3 overs.

He did strike rotation like this, through strike rotation he was also keeping the run rate active. In the 3rd ball, he hit a four with the help of a pull shot and the ball was out of bounds.
In the next over i.e. in the 19th over 18.2 overs, Kohli hit Jansen for another boundary. Kohli came on strike again in the 4th ball with 2 runs in the 3rd ball of the over. Kohli hit a huge six in the 4th ball. The way Kohli hit this six is usually his "signature shot". Counted. Truly that six was wonderful. Six to watch! But Kohli was caught out by fielder Rabada while hitting the same six on the next ball. Virat Kohli played a wonderful knock of 76(59). He was palmed by Jansen's ball. He played a very effective and responsible innings. His tremendous innings was decorated with mesmerizing 6 fours and 2 sixes. Who could have imagined that this would be King's last T20 innings! His last T20 world cup. So even this was the last T20 match of his career. Then Hardik Pandya came to the wicket. Hardik started his innings with a 4 over the wicketkeeper's head on the last ball of the over and on his 1st ball. Then in the 20th over i.e. 19.3 overs Nortje Dube hits four. Dube is caught out by Miller on the next ball. His wicket is taken by Nortje. He departs for 27(16). Ravindra Jadeja then comes to the wicket.

India's innings ended at 176-7 in 20 overs. South Africa needed 177 runs in 20 overs to win.

But still their hope was on their next batsman, among whom the names of batsman Quinton de Kock, Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen & David Miller were notable.

This final didn’t feel one-sided like previous ones; it was full of excitement, a real roller-coaster ride.

This catch almost sealed the World Cup for India. If he had missed that catch, the World Cup might have slipped from India's hands. With Miller out for 21 off 17 balls, South Africa was at 161-7.
Rabada came in next and hit a four on the first ball through the third-man area, leaving the equation at 12 runs required from 4 balls!

STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! That should be the game and the World Cup to India! Final nail in the coffin for South Africa. Full and going across the left-hander, on off, Kagiso Rabada looks to get underneath it but only manages to skew it off the toe end of the bat. It goes flat and straight to long off where Suryakumar Yadav takes an easy catch this time.Anrich Nortje is the new man in for South Africa.1 19.6: Hardik Pandya to Anrich Nortje, INDIA HAVE PULLED OFF A HEIST TO BECOME THE 2024 ICC MEN'S T20 WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS! Hardik Pandya has done it for the Men in Blue! Absolute ecstasy for Rohit Sharma and his men. Agony for South Africa. Pandya hurls it full and slanting in, on middle and leg, Anrich Nortje backs away to have a swipe across the line. Gets it off the inner half of the bat and it dribbles to deep mid-wicket for just a single and the Proteas are in utter disbelief, spare a thought for them, they fought bravely but the Indians had more experience at this stage. A 7-run victory for the Men in Blue and emotions are running wild on the field.IND won by 7 runs!Against South Africa!
INDIA ARE T20 WORLD CHAMPIONS AFTER 17 YEARS! It's been a long, long wait for India and they now join West Indies and England as the only three teams to have won the Men's T20 World Cup two times. You really couldn't ask for more, what a grand finale we have had here in Barbados and both sides gave it their all! The Indian players are up in ecstasy and the playing field is flooded by the dugout. The crowd is at the top of its lungs and it's another heartbreak for South Africa, they simply couldn't get it done. Rohit Sharma is down in tears, as he was after the 2023 World Cup final - but this time, these are tears of joy. You really have to hand it to the Indian side, they were down and out but what redemption this is for the Men in Blue.
India have pulled a rabbit out of the hat here! When Axar Patel conceded 24 runs in that 15th over, everything seemed over but the pacers fought back valiantly and that catch from Suryakumar Yadav really was the cherry on the top. After having set a target of 177 runs for the Proteas, the pacers began on the money and even though they got hit for a few boundaries, Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh managed to pick up a wicket each to balance things out. The spinners couldn't deliver and were put away for plenty of runs in the middle overs. Hardik Pandya too stepped up and provided fantastic support to the frontline pacers. The last five overs were simply phenomenal from the Indian pacers and didn't allow South Africa any breathing space and kept the pressure on with dot balls and wickets at the same time. Eventually, their hard work shone through and they managed to defend the score by 7 runs to send over a billion people into ecstasy.
There are tears in the South African camp as well but those of heartbreak and they could feel the trophy slip out of their grasp in those death overs. Quinton de Kock set the tempo up top and even when the likes of Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram flopped, de Kock and Tristan Stubbs got their side in a position of promise. Stubbs fell and so did de Kock after a while but it really was Heinrich Klaasen who turned on the heat and played the knock of his life at the biggest stage. However, his seemingly title-clinching knock was cut short at a vital stage and from that point on, the Proteas simply couldn't get going. They crumbled under pressure and all eyes were on David Miller but he left things too late and was caught brilliantly in the deep by Suryakumar Yadav which was the final nail in the coffin. So close yet so far for South Africa yet again and their hunt for a maiden ICC trophy at the senior level continues.
Earlier in the game, Rohit Sharma won the toss and had no hesitation batting first which has been the norm for the Indian team - setting targets and defending them throughout this World Cup. After early setbacks and some stellar bowling from the Proteas, Virat Kohli was the beacon of hope for India and played an anchor knock after a fast start. The teams traded blows after blows. Kohli went into overdrive mode after reaching his fifty but the South African pacers managed to end things pretty well.
Virat Kohli is the Player of the Match in the Final for his stellar knock. Kohli starts by saying that this was his last T20 World Cup and feels that it is time for the next generation to take over. Mentions that one day you feel like you cannot get a run and then this happens. Further says that it was a now-or-never kind of situation.

Tells that it is difficult to hold emotions back and feels that it is going to sink in later.

Mentions that he was trying to keep himself in a bubble and not think too far ahead. Adds that he doesn't look at it like all the pressure is on him and he tries to take it one over at a time. Ends by saying that it was under run a ball when he came back in the 16th over and the ball was scuffed up and he knew it would reverse a bit.
Let's now hear from some of the Indian players. Mohammed Siraj says that his only belief was on Jasprit Bumrah to turn the game around. He says that he can't explain this feeling and that every player's dream is to win the World Cup. Ends by thanking the Almighty for this win. Hardik Pandya is up next for a chat. He says that he is very emotional and has been working hard for the last few months but it wasn't clicking for him. Shares that this win is even more special for him, given how the last six months have been for him. Feels that if you keep working hard, your time to shine will come. Axar Patel is the next man to chime in. He says that this win means everything to him and he always wanted to do something for the team.

Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, says that it is very hard to sum up what they have been through over the last 3-4 years and this is the result of all the hard work that went down over that period. Feels that they know what to do in such high-pressure games and they stuck together as a team today when the backs were against the wall. Tells that they needed this win really bad and a lot has gone behind the scenes. Says that he is really proud of the boys and the management for giving them liberty. States that nobody was in doubt about Virat Kohli's form. Adds that they know the quality he has and come the occasion the big players will stand up.
