A heartfelt gesture of Rohit Sharma towards a super fan a day after India's T20 World Cup triumph has won hearts on internet.

It was Rohit, who provided the fan the chance to touch the coveted trophy that India won after a gap of 17 years.

India edged past South Africa by 7 runs in the final match of T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval, Barbados on Saturday to clinch an ICC title after 11 years. After the historic win, both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli announced their T20I retirement.

Defending 176/7, India's dream of ending their ICC title drought seemed all but over with South Africa needing run-a-ball 30 to win, with set batters Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller at the crease. The Rohit Sharma-led side needed something magical to turn the tide and the team actually produced one!

Jasprit Bumrah bowled a four-run over before Hardik Pandya dismissed Klaasen in what was another four-run over from India.

Then, Bumrah conceded only two runs in the 18th over and removed Marco Jansen. Arshdeep Singh followed it up with a four-run penultimate over.
