India ended an 11-year ICC trophy drought and a 13-year world title absence by winning the T20 World Cup at Kensington Oval, Barbados, defeating South Africa.

Virat Kohli, who struggled earlier, scored a crucial 76 off 59 balls.

The victory was an emotional experience for senior players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Hardik Pandya, who were visibly moved, along with fans who traveled to Barbados.

Ishant Sharma and Irfan Pathan were brought to tears by the win, with Pathan expressing his mixed emotions of sadness and joy.

Following the victory, Virat Kohli announced his retirement from T20 international cricket, while Rohit Sharma revealed he had played his last T20 international match.
