Bridgetown [Barbados], June 30 (ANI): The Indian cricket team's historic T20 World Cup victory on Saturday set the whole country in a celebratory mood. From fans to celebrities, everyone flooded social media with congratulatory messages for the Men in Blue as they edged past South Africa by seven runs in the final match of T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval, Barbados.
Actor Priyanka Chopra, too, congratulated Team India with a special message.
Taking to Instagram Story, she wrote, "Team India, you've made us all proud! (blue heart emoji) (Indian Flag emoji)."

Summarising the final match of the tournament, India won the toss and opted to bat first. After being reduced to 34/3, a counter-attacking partnership between Virat Kohli (76) and Axar Patel (47 in 31 balls, with one four and four sixes) of 72 runs restored India's position in the game. A 57-run stand between Virat and Shivam Dube (27 in 16 balls, with three fours and a six) took India to 176/7 in their 20 overs.
Keshav Maharaj (2/23) and Anrich Nortje (2/26) were the top bowlers for SA. Marco Jansen and Aiden Markram took a wicket each.
In the run chase of 177 runs, Proteas was reduced to 12/2 and then a 58-run partnership between Quinton de Kock (39 in 31 balls, with four boundaries and a six) and Tristan Stubbs (31 in 21 balls, with three fours and a six) brought back SA into the game. A half-century by Heinrich Klaasen (52 in 27 balls, with two fours and five sixes) threatened to take the game away from India. However, Arshdeep Singh (2/18), Jasprit Bumrah (2/20) and Hardik (3/20) made a fine comeback in death overs, keeping SA to 169/8 in their 20 overs.
Virat secured the 'Player of the Match' for his performance. Now, by securing their first ICC title since the Champions Trophy in 2013, India has ended their ICC trophy drought. (ANI)
