The T20 World Cup 2024 was a momentous occasion for the Indian cricket team. Not only because they won it, but due to the fact that it marked the end of an 11-year ICC title drought. For all of India's might in world cricket, they were stumbling at the final hurdle of ICC events. Even in the T20 World Cup 2024 final, it looked all but over with South Africa needing 30 off just 30 balls, after Axar Patel conceded 24 runs in the 15th over.
Indian pacer Harshit Rana posted a heartwarming picture on social media, celebrating his call-up to the ODI team with his father and telling him that this accomplishment of his life "belongs to him". Harshit Rana was among the younger and newer stars named in the white-ball team for India's white-ball tour of Sri Lanka starting from July 27 onwards. This will be India's first-ever international assignment under the new head coach, Gautam Gambhir. The former opener was announced as India's coach earlier in July after Rahul Dravid's contract ended following Men in Blue's ICC T20 World Cup title win.
India skipper Rohit Sharma opened up on his thought process during the final few overs of the thrilling ICC T20 World Cup final against South Africa, in which Men in Blue defeated Proteas to end their 11-year wait for a major title. The Indian skipper, who retired from T20Is just after the victory, was speaking at an event in Dallas. During the game, India was in a huge trouble while defending 177 against a highly-attacking Proteas batting unit. The 15th over bowled by Axar Patel saw him being dismantled by Heinrich Klaasen and smashed for 24 runs, leaving India with just 30 runs to defend in 30 balls. But from then on, the trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh unleashed a brilliant pace-choke, while also taking crucial wickets. Pandya secured the crucial wicket of Klaasen in the 17th over, while a fine catch from Suryakumar Yadav at long-off in the final over saw him get the prized scalp of David Miller, when India needed to defend 16 runs in six balls. Pacers brought India into the game with a death-over masterclass and Proteas was left seven runs short of the target.

It was Rohit, who provided the fan the chance to touch the coveted trophy that India won after a gap of 17 years. The pictures went viral on social media with the several fans on praising Rohit's humility on social media.
Former India cricketer-turned-pundit Aakash Chopra does not shy away from a strong opinion or two on his YouTube channel. Now, picking the Team of the Tournament for the 2024 T20 World Cup, Chopra left out final heroes Virat Kohli and Axar Patel, as well as Rishabh Pant from his XI. However, five Indians still made it to Chopra's best team. He also left out the world's No. 1 T20I batter Travis Head, as well as fellow Australian star Pat Cummins, from his side.
