  • T20 World Cup: How India won the cup with an unlikely team

    T20 World Cup: How India won the cup with an unlikely team
    Jun 30 2024
    Yesterday, India stunned South Africa to clinch their second ICC T20 World Cup title with a thrilling seven-run victory at Kensington Oval in Barbados.

    After being asked to bowl first, the Proteas made a strong start, claiming three crucial wickets during the Powerplay, including those of skipper Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Suryakumar Yadav. However, India staged a remarkable recovery as Virat Kohli and Axar Patel forged a crucial 72-run partnership for the fourth wicket, the highest by an Indian pair in a World Cup final.

    In this episode, our hosts Mihir Vasavda, Amit Kamath, and Vinayakk Mohanarangan discuss what led India to lift the T20 World Cup this time.
