India Triumphs in T20 World Cup Final, Kohli Retires from T20Is

India Clinches Second T20 World Cup Title After 17 Years

After a nail-biting seven-run victory over South Africa, India has emerged victorious in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup final. This triumph marks India's second T20 World Cup title, coming 17 years after their inaugural win in 2007.

The match was a rollercoaster of emotions, with India facing an early setback after losing three wickets within the powerplay. However, star batter Virat Kohli anchored the innings with a match-winning 76 off 59 balls, guiding India to a formidable total of 176 for seven.

South Africa's chase started promisingly, but they were unable to maintain the momentum. India's bowlers, led by Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Shami, kept the pressure on, restricting South Africa to 169 for six.

Kohli, who was named Man of the Match, announced his retirement from T20 Internationals after the victory. He expressed his gratitude to the team and fans for their support throughout his career.

The victory is a testament to India's resilience and determination. After two heartbreaking losses in major finals in the past year, the team showed immense character to overcome adversity and claim the coveted trophy.
