Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, Team India once again recorded the country’s name in golden letters in world cricket. India won the World Cup final by 7 runs.
Captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first. Rohit Sharma’s decision was 100 per cent correct.
Because history is witness to the fact that the team batting first by winning the toss in the World Cup T20 has been the champion.
Apart from this, in the history of T20 World Cup, the team that wins the toss is more likely to become the champion.
It should be mentioned here that in 2007, India won the World Cup by batting first. Batting first in today’s match, India tied South Africa to a target of 176 runs.
Chasing this target, the South African team scored 169 runs. Virat Kohli scored the most runs for India. Virat scored 76 runs off 59 balls.

India is the world champion after 13 years
Batting first, India scored 176 runs for 7 wickets. In reply, the Proteas innings ended at 169 runs for 8 wickets.
After Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s team won the ODI World Cup, Rohit’s India is the best in the world in 20-over cricket. After the match, everyone in the Indian team cried.
Rohit snatched victory from the face of defeat by the hand of Hardik Pandya. Suryakumar Yadav also showed the door to South Africa’s defeat by catching David Miller’s catch in the boundary line.
In the last three overs, the color of the match changed completely. South Africa’s dream was broken in front of Rohit’s unbeaten mentality.
Rohit and Suryakumar handled the Indian innings in the semi-final against England. Both failed against South Africa in the final.
Rishabh Pant also increased the pressure of the team by batting like a fool. Rohit (9), Pant (0) and Suryakumar (3) were dismissed within 5 overs.
This time went to ‘Plan B’ to prevent batting collapse. Axar Patel, the player of the semi-finals, was dropped to number five.
The left-handed all-rounder teamed up with Virat Kohli to prevent the team’s disaster.
Kohli started in an aggressive mood. After a long time, he was playing in a familiar mood. But Kohli folded himself under pressure.
Akshar tries to be aggressive by handling a little pressure. In the end, he was run out like a fool without trying to return to the crease in time. Axar missed out on a half-century with a mistake.
He scored 47 runs off 31 balls with 1 four and 4 sixes. Kohli kept the other side of the wicket.
Shivam Dube, who failed in the entire tournament, tried to fight a bit in the final. Kohli joined 22 yards. Kohli scored the first half-century of the tournament.
He scored 76 runs off 59 balls. He hit 6 fours and 2 sixes. Shivam scored 27 off 16 balls.
He hit 3 fours and 1 six. At the end of the 72 runs of Kohli-Shivam pair, Hardik remained unbeaten on 5 runs. Jadeja was out for 2 runs.
South Africa’s most successful bowler Keshav Maharaj took 2 wickets for 23 runs. He dismissed Rohit and Pant in the first over to put India under pressure.
Anrich Nortje took 2 wickets for 26 runs. Kagiso Rabada took 1 wicket for 36 runs. Marco Jansen took 1 wicket for 49 runs.
Chasing a target of 177 runs to win, South Africa lost two wickets in the beginning. Jasprit Bumrah dismisses Reza Hendricks (4).
Arshdeep Singh returns to Aiden Markram (4). After losing 2 wickets for 12 runs, Quinton de Kock and Tristan Stubbs took charge of the team’s innings.
In the third wicket, the smooth batting of their pair put some pressure on Rohit. Akshar broke their partnership. Stubbs was out after scoring 31 runs off 21 balls.
He hit 3 fours and 1 six. He was then paired with De Kock and Heinrich Klaasen. Indian bowlers could not stop the pace of South Africa’s run. Arshdeep dismisses De Kock.
His innings included 4 fours and 1 six. It didn’t help much either. Klaasen’s aggressive batting kept India under pressure. In the end, Hardik dismissed him and India returned to the fight. Klaasen scored 52 runs off 27 balls.
The Proteas fell under pressure to get out of Klaasen. Jansen (2) could not give confidence to the team. He was dismissed by Bumrah.
After losing two wickets in a row, David Miller and Maharaj could not handle the pressure. Bumrah, Arshdeep could not handle the ball.
Maria Miller was caught by Suryakumar at the boundary line while hitting a six. This wicket ensured India’s victory.
In the end, the Proteas could not score more than 169 runs for 8 wickets. But South Africa was in a convenient place to win the match till 16 overs.
Hardik, India’s most successful bowler, took 3 wickets for 20 runs. Bumrah took 2 wickets for 18 runs.
Arshdeep took 2 wickets for 20 runs. Akshar 1 for 49 runs. Kuldeep Yadav had to remain wicketless despite conceding 45 runs in the final.
How is India a world champion? Rohit’s decision taken 60 days ago
“There are reasons and plans, I won’t say more now,” he said. His reluctant plan to leak gave the opposition teams a breather.
Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav took six wickets each for England in the semi-finals. In the final, though, the professionals did the betting.
On April 30, the Indian board announced a 15-member squad for the World Cup. There were four spinners in that team.
Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were included in the squad. Axar and Jadeja are almost identical bowlers.
It was thought that India would not play them together. It was thought that the Kul-Cha pair could be seen in the World Cup.
But Chahal did not play a single match in the World Cup. Even then, India’s spin attack gave the opponent sleep.
“I wanted four spinners in the team. I won’t tell you the reason now. “The reason is now clear. Rohit’s three spinners have taken 19 wickets.
In the meantime, spinners are dominating the West Indies soil. Rohit knew it would happen. That’s why he wanted four spinners in the team.
Kuldeep has taken 10 wickets in 4 matches. He hasn’t played a game in the United States. Kuldeep has been playing since the team reached Super 8.
No team has been able to score big runs against him so far. Axar has taken 8 wickets in 7 matches. But Jadeja is not in form.
He could only take one wicket. But did not run. As a result, pressure has been created on the batters. Akshara got the result.
Many people ridiculed Rohit’s decision to take four spinners, but Sourav Ganguly stood beside him.
Before the start of the World Cup, he said, “The decision to have four spinners in the team is absolutely right. It will be played in the West Indies. Spinners get help there.
The pitch there is a little slow. The ball goes low. The fields are big. Spinners will be important.
Rinku Singh was dropped to pick four spinners. Saurabh also supported it. “I think Rinku couldn’t be picked because he wanted to have an extra spinner.
Besides, Rinku has just started his cricketing career. You’ll get more opportunities later. ”
After the T20 World Cup, it is seen that Rohit’s plan is right. Sourav thought it happened. Other teams are having trouble understanding the Indian spinners.
Former Bengal captain Manoj Tiwary feels Rohit not only planned to pick four spinners but also how to use them. “Among India’s four spinners, Axar and Jadeja are almost identical.
But without their balls, it’s different. That separates them from each other. Kuldeep is a left-arm spinner, Chahal is a right-arm spinner.
Rohit wanted this variety in the team’s bowling attack. He got it and used it. ”
India went to the World Cup with three pacers and four spinners. There were also two all-rounders like Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube.
That is, Rohit had a total of nine bowlers. He used eight of them. Chahal didn’t just play. There were three pacers in the team when playing with two spinners in New York.
Mohammed Siraj was with Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh. Kuldeep was replaced by Siraj in the West Indies. Such diversity has not been seen in any other team.
Rohit did not want to reveal his plans. “I won’t break down the reason for picking four spinners,” he said at a press conference after the team selection.
The captains of other countries are also listening to the press conference. I need four spinners. We have played a lot of cricket in the West Indies.
We know the situation there. The game will start at 10 a.m. Four spinners have been taken after thinking a lot. We will select the team after seeing the opponent. ”
Rohit won the T20 World Cup as captain with a wide smile on his face. His smile shows that whatever the critics say, he is successful in his plan.
5 reasons why India beat South Africa to win the T20 World Cup
The match was almost out of India’s hands even from the winning situation. Two overs turned the game around. Apart from this, there are various reasons behind India’s victory. We found them.
1) Bringing Hardik into the bowling attack
Rohit Sharma bowled an over with Hardik Pandya in the 10th over. After that, after the spinners were beaten in front of Heinrich Klaasen’s batting, Rohit was forced to bring Hardik and played Fatak.
That worked. Bringing Hardik in the 17th over was one of the best moments of the match. He dismissed the dangerous Klaasen in the first ball.
He scored only four runs in that over. David Miller, another dangerous batsman, was dismissed in the first ball of the last over.
These two dismissals turned the match around. It is also a wise decision to bring Bumrah back into the attack. Spinners were playing the most role in various grounds in the West Indies.
But for the South African batsmen, the spinner weapon was blunt. In the 16th over, Bumrah was brought in and slowed down the run rate of the Proteas.
2) Suryakumar Yadav’s catch
At that time, if Miller’s shot was six, India would have lost for sure. Under pressure, Suryakumar was caught first at the boundary but could not keep the balance of the body and threw the ball up.
He went to the boundary and went to the side and quickly came to the side and caught the catch.
3) Kohli’s valuable 76 runs
Rohit was out early on this day. Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant returned later. Kohli started by running but played a little bit. After that, he played aggressive again and remained almost till the end.
4) Bring down the letter first
The policy he had taken against Pakistan was followed by this day. Axar was dropped instead of Shivam Dube or Hardik Pandya.
Pairing up with Kohli to take the team to a reliable place and comparing the innings of 47 runs is not possible with anything.
5) South Africa’s Rhythm
It is difficult to believe that the Proteas can lose from there. This is proof of why they are called ‘chokers’.
‘I kept quiet for 6 months…’ Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya’s tears showed how relieved he was. He had the stage to respond. He responded. He said he had been waiting for this day for the last six months.
Speaking after winning the World Cup, Hardik said, “I am getting very emotional. I worked hard. But success was not coming.
For me, it’s a more special moment. A lot has happened to me in the last six months. I was silent. I didn’t say a word.
I knew that if I kept working hard, one day I would have a chance to respond. I knew this day would come. ”
Hardik said that even though times were tough, they believed in themselves. He said: “We had faith. I planned. I tried to make it work.
Thanks to Bumrah and the rest of the bowlers for the last five overs. I tried to keep myself calm. I gave 100 per cent of every ball. I always like to handle pressure. I won this match under pressure. ”
Rahul Dravid has won the World Cup as a coach. After that, he will leave the post of coach. Hardik is happy for Dravid.
“Dravid is a very good guy. I am very happy for him. I had a great time under him. We are very happy that we were able to give him such a farewell. Our relationship became like friends. ”
At the end of the conversation, Rohit came to Hardik. He hugged her and kissed her cheek. After that, the two cheered together.
How is it possible for Rohit to win the 27-day World Cup
There are many reasons behind Rohit Sharma’s world victory. five of them.
1) Rohit’s leadership from the front
Before the start of the World Cup, Rohit himself knew that this would be his last T20 World Cup. There was a long debate about whether to play or not.
However, Rohit, who is playing the ninth T20 World Cup, did not want to keep any shortcomings. He gave his best in the whole competition.
His batting has caught the eye in almost every match except the final. The pressure on the rest was eased due to an aggressive start. Rohit could not be the top run-scorer for a while.
2) Arshdeep’s bowling throughout the tournament
He has taken wickets in every match except the England match. Be it spin or pace, Arshdeep has made his mark on all pitches. His form is one of the reasons why India won the trophy.
3) Adapt to different situations
In both countries, India adapted to the situation much better than the other teams. They went to America and played Mohammed Siraj.
Kuldeep Yadav started playing Siraj in the West Indies. This change has helped greatly.
4) Spin bowling based attack
Instead, trust has been placed on Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja. Spinners have taken 17 wickets in five matches in the West Indies. What’s more, he gave a lot less runs.
5) Do not rely on the opening pair
In every match, someone in the middle order has scored runs. Rishabh Pant played responsible innings in the Pakistan match, Suryakumar in the USA, Afghanistan and England matches, Hardik Pandya in the Bangladesh match.
He did not throw the wicket. As a result, it helped to build a long innings.
