Before scripting a moment that he would never forget in his life, India's stalwart batter, Virat Kohli, disclosed that he wasn't confident about delivering a performance in the T20 World Cup final in Barbados.

Before the final, he could only muster up just 75 runs at an average of 10.71, which was well below the standards that he had set over the years.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and other members of the team had been stuck in Barbados (the venue of the final) since Monday, as airports had been shut due to Hurricane Beryl hitting the Caribbean city. However, after a special flight was arranged for Team India, they were able to land in the early hours of Thursday morning.

However, the celebrations were huge for the side and they finally landed in New Delhi early in the morning on Thursday after getting stuck in Barbados due to bad weather. The Indian cricket team players travelled to PM Modi's residence where they stayed till 1 PM and during the time, the cricketers had a free-flowing conversation with PM Modi. Suryakumar Yadav was present in the meeting as part of the Indian cricket team and the star batter's 7-year-old social media post on X (Twitter) has resurfaced as the entire country celebrates the victory.
