The Indian team has won the T20 World Cup for the second time. After the dream of winning the ODI World Cup title was shattered, Team India made a tremendous comeback. The command of the T20 World Cup was handed over to Rohit Sharma. Rohit’s army proved this belief to be true. The pair of Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid fulfilled the expectations of Indian sports lovers. After 11 years, they registered their name on the ICC Cup. But there came a moment when the match was slipping out of the hands like sand. This increased the fear of the Indian players. All hopes were lost in the 15th over. Because 24 runs came in one over of Akshar Patel. Heinrich Klaasen washed Akshar. So the match came down to 30 runs in 30 balls. So it seemed as if nothing was going to be achieved now.
Hardik Pandya bowled two overs, Jasprit Bumrah bowled two and Arshdeep Singh bowled one over. Rohit Sharma handed over the 16th over to Jasprit Bumrah. Being world class bowlers, Miller and Klaasen were a bit nervous. In the 16th over, Bumrah gave only 4 runs and kept Team India in the match. After this, the over was handed over to Hardik Pandya. Hardik got the wicket of Klaasen on the very first ball and came alive. 4 runs were also scored in this over.
22 runs were needed from 18 balls and there was no option other than Jasprit Bumrah. Finally Rohit Sharma used this Brahmastra and won the match here. No runs were scored on the first two balls of this over. Miller took a run on the third ball and gave the strike to Jensen. Then on the fourth ball, K sent him to the tent. No run on the fifth ball and one run on the sixth ball. Only 3 runs were scored in this over and India’s victory was confirmed. Jasprit Bumrah gave 18 runs in 4 overs and took two important wickets.
