India clinched the T20 World Cup 2024 with a thrilling seven-run victory over South Africa at the Kensington Oval on June 30, 2024, ending an 11-year drought for an ICC trophy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the efforts of outgoing head coach Rahul Dravid, captain Rohit Sharma, and star batsman Virat Kohli. Both Sharma and Kohli announced their retirement from T20 Internationals following the match. The victory was celebrated nationwide, with local youths in Bhubaneswar painting in tricolour and fans in Bengaluru celebrating enthusiastically. MS Dhoni, under whose captaincy India previously won the 2011 World Cup and 2007 T20 World Cup, praised the team's calm and self-belief. Sachin Tendulkar also praised Sharma and Kohli for their contributions. The win marked a significant redemption for Rahul Dravid after 17 years.
