2024 T20 World Cup: India Ends 11 Year ICC Trophy Drought.
Chak De India! Well that’s what we have been hearing from the corner of every street, every house, every vehicle that passes by and of course from every Indian cricket fan. The Indian Cricket Team have successfully ended the 11 year ICC Trophy drought and 13 year World Cup drought by beating South Africa by 7 runs in the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Virat Kohli showcased brilliance in his final T20 international appearance, contributing a commanding 76 runs from 59 balls. Reflecting on his farewell, Kohli emphasized, “It’s time for the next generation to take over. It was an open secret, and I would have announced it even if we had lost.“ The game’s momentum shifted dramatically during Heinrich Klaasen’s explosive innings of 52 runs off just 27 balls, posing a serious threat to India’s campaign. However, strategic interventions from Hardik Pandya and astute captaincy from Rohit Sharma, including a crucial over by Axar Patel, swung the momentum back in India’s favor. The match culminated in a tense finale, where Pandya’s nerve-wracking final over, defending 16 runs, secured India’s victory. This triumph marked India’s first ICC trophy since 2013 and their inaugural T20 World Cup win in the post-IPL era. The celebrations were a mix of relief and joy for Kohli, Rohit, and their teammates, potentially signaling the end of an era for these two stalwarts in T20 cricket. India’s batting was anchored by Virat Kohli’s composed innings, complemented by Axar Patel’s vital 47 runs from 31 balls, which took them to their highest total in an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final. The bowlers, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah and supported by timely contributions from Shivam Dube, maintained pressure on South Africa throughout their chase. Crucial moments included Bumrah’s pivotal return to the attack and Suryakumar Yadav’s sensational boundary catch off Pandya’s bowling, decisively turning the tide. Despite a shaky start, India recovered to post a formidable total of 176 for 7, courtesy of the partnership between Kohli and Axar. This victory not only secured India’s place in cricketing history but also provided a fitting farewell to head coach Rahul Dravid, concluding a memorable performance that will be cherished for years to come.

The Indian fans have started dreaming of an ICC trophy yet again. Rohit Sharma-led Indian Cricket Team has marched into the finals of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 by beating former Champions, England by 68 runs. Axar Patel, the lead destroyer with the ball, broke the back of England’s batting with three wickets. Bappu, as he is fondly called, went on to dismiss Jos Buttler (23 off 15), Jonny Bairstow for a duck (0 off 3) and Moeen Ali (8 off 10). Later Liam Livingstone getting run out almost halfway down the track by Kuldeep Yadav on Axar Patel’s bowling summed up England’s day at the office. The Indian Cricket Team is now all set to take on South Africa in the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

Sri Lanka chased down the target with ease, winning by 6 wickets with 13 balls to spare. This victory marked Sri Lanka’s first T20 World Cup win, while India’s quest for another ICC trophy was thwarted despite their strong performance throughout the tournament. ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2017 India squared off against arch-rivals Pakistan in the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2017 final in London. Pakistan set a daunting total of 338/4, thanks to Fakhar Zaman’s scintillating century.

Pakistan won convincingly by 180 runs, delivering a stunning performance and claiming their first Champions Trophy title. ICC Men’s World Test Championship 2021 In the inaugural ICC Men’s World Test Championship final in 2021, India took on New Zealand in Southampton. After a rain-affected match, New Zealand chased down a target of 139 with relative ease, securing an 8-wicket victory. Kyle Jamieson was the standout player, taking seven wickets in the match, including crucial dismissals of Indian skipper Virat Kohli in both innings. This victory marked New Zealand’s first ICC tournament win since the 2000 ICC Knock-Out Trophy. ICC Men’s World Test Championship 2023 The ICC Men’s World Test Championship 2023 final saw India facing Australia at The Oval in London. Australia set a challenging total and won by 209 runs. Travis Head and Steve Smith’s brilliant centuries in the first innings laid the foundation for Australia. India’s batting faltered in both innings, with only Ajinkya Rahane showing some fight in the second innings. Australia’s disciplined bowling attack, led by Pat Cummins, ensured their comprehensive victory. ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 In the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 final held in Ahmedabad, India met Australia. Australia, chasing 241 set by India, won by 6 wickets. Travis Head was once again a key player, scoring a match-winning century. Despite Rohit Sharma’s half-century in the first innings, India struggled to build significant partnerships, and Australia’s bowlers, led by Mitchell Starc, kept the pressure on. This win added another World Cup trophy to Australia’s illustrious cabinet. The Indian Cricket Team once again has made it to an ICC event final. This time the men in blue are up against South Africa. Fans and players alike are hoping to finally break the jinx and add another prestigious ICC trophy to their cabinet. With a mix of experienced and young talent, the Indian Cricket Team aims to overcome past setbacks and emerge victorious on the grand stage. The Sportz Planet Desk,Atharva Shetye
