On June 29, India emerged victorious in the T20 World Cup 2024, having defeated South Africa in the Finals at the Kensington Oval in Barbados by a margin of seven runs.
Throughout the competition, every player made some sort of contribution to India’s victory. A key member of the team was Rishabh Pant, who rejoined the national team following a horrible vehicle tragedy. Pant posted a photo of himself sporting the coveted winner’s medal to Instagram following the game.
All-rounder Axar Patel of India was quick to respond to Pant’s social media post by teasing that he, too, was the owner of the same medal. Speaking of Axar, he clearly made some significant hitting strokes in the Final against South Africa and Pakistan. Additionally, he claimed three wickets in the semifinal matchup with England. Conversely, Pant performed admirably in the group stages but appeared glimmery in the knockout stages.
“Same mere pass bhi hai, bhai. (Brother, I own the same medal also),” Axar wrote in response to Pant’s post. Following in his footsteps, Mohammed Siraj penned, “Bhai mere pass bhi hai same (Brother, I too have the same one).”
