Five days after the Indian cricket team won the T20 World Cup 2024 in Barbados, on Thursday, July 4, the team touched down in Delhi, where Virat Kohli visited his family.
An 11-year drought for an ICC trophy came to an end on June 29 as the Men in Blue overcame South Africa in the showpiece event finals. Their first World Cup victory in 17 years and their second overall. Despite entering the event fresh off an incredible Indian Premier League (IPL) season, Kohli was unable to repeat his performance until the championship match.
At the Kensington Oval in Barbados, India’s top order was lost during the powerplay, hence the onus was on the talisman batter to save his team. With Axar Patel and Shivam Dube, Kohli forged partnerships worth over fifty runs to salvage the Indian innings. Eventually, after hitting six fours and two sixes, the 35-year-old concluded with a tough 76 runs off 59 balls. After limiting the Proteas to 169/8 in their 20 overs, the Asian giants recorded 176/7, sending their supporters into a frenzy as they won the thrilling match by seven runs.
