The coveted trophy comes home, again!
India rounded off a fabulous tournament to bring the most ambitious and the revered trophy in T20 World Cricket. winning the World Cup is always special, but winning back to back, especially in your own backyard is most definitely a wonderful feeling. The fact that no team has ever achieved this feat, makes it all the more spectacular and surreal.
India dominated the tournament except on 2 occasions – the defeat in the hands of a formidable Proteas was a wake up call that we cannot take things for granted. And for around 30 minutes when Jacob Bethell went berserk in pursuit of taking England to the final, there were sure shot butterflies in the stomach. Otherwise, it was a quite a performance – consistent, clinical and looked like a champion side throughout. All the key players chipped in and contributed, Sanju Samson rose to the occasion when it mattered and stole the show, and Bumrah was being Bumrah. Absolutely brilliant!
The biggest win of all, though was this – the ever charming smile on my son’s face when we lifted the trophy was an icing on the cake.
Thank you, Indian Cricket Team!
