India Wins T20 World Cup After 13 Years

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s Special Gesture

Former India cricketer VVS Laxman praised Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for handing the T20 World Cup trophy to Rahul Dravid. This special moment happened in Barbados after India won against South Africa by 7 runs, ending a 13-year wait for an ICC World Cup.

Rahul Dravid’s Emotional Celebration

Rahul Dravid, known as ‘The Wall,’ celebrated by jumping out of his chair, showing rare emotions. This victory was especially sweet for Dravid, who was the head coach. In 2007, India had a disappointing World Cup in the West Indies, but this time, Dravid turned it into a memorable day by lifting the trophy high.

Team’s Emotional Reactions

Rohit Sharma collapsed to the ground as the last wicket fell, and emotions were visible on every player’s face. Rohit lifted Hardik Pandya, who was in tears after defending 16 runs in the final over. Rohit even kissed Hardik on the cheek during the emotional moment.

Laxman noted that everyone, including the support and coaching staff, showed their emotions. He mentioned how special it was for Dravid, with whom he has played a lot of cricket, to show such emotions. Laxman also highlighted the significance of this victory, especially after coming close in the 50-over World Cup six months ago.
