rohit sharma, who was the captain of the then team, has spoken in an interview about the indian team winning the 2024 t20 World Cup. The indian team defeated south africa by seven runs in the final of the 2024 t20 World Cup. After about 17 years, the indian team won its second t20 World Cup. rohit sharma spoke about who played best in that match. He pointed out that an all-rounder played best in that match. Rohit did not say that virat kohli was the reason for the victory even though he scored 76 runs in that match. rohit sharma said: "I was nervous during that final. I was not in a comfortable mood. I thought we had let south africa dominate. At the same time, in the back of my mind, I felt that our lower middle order had not batted much in this series and had not made much of an impact when they got the chance. But not many people talk about Axar Patel's performance in that final. He scored 47 runs off 31 balls. That was what changed the match.
Also, we thought someone should stand and bat throughout the final. virat kohli did that brilliantly," said Rohit Sharma. In that final, rohit sharma was dismissed for 9 runs. rishabh pant was disappointing without scoring any runs. suryakumar yadav was dismissed for 3 runs. At that time, Axar patel was the one who held the indian batting back. Without him, virat kohli on the other hand would not have been able to play a big innings. Axar patel scored 47 runs in 31 balls in that match. virat kohli scored 76 runs in 59 balls and stayed on the field until the 19th over. That is why the indian team scored 176 runs in that final match. Although the South African team that played next came close to winning at one point, they scored only 169 runs for the loss of eight wickets in 20 overs. The indian team's bowling was amazing in the last few overs. bumrah and Arshdeep Singh bowled well and gave the indian team a victory.
