Last night was something that I'll remember forever, after years of heartbreak and tears India finally lifted an ICC trophy. It's been 11 years since we lifted an ICC trophy, 13 since we lifted a World Cup and 17 since we won a T20 World Cup and after several close brushes with victory and knockout defeats we are finally the World Champions again. There are many things that I wanted to say since yesterday but I just couldn't get the time to sit down and now when I finally have time in my hands I'd like to get all my feelings out and shut up for the greater good.

First of all Rohit, what a man, what a captain. If somebody deserved the the cup it was him and seeing him collapse to the floor and slapping the turf with all his might showed just how much it ment to him.

Also how he was crying again after a finals but this time they were tears of happiness that didn't seem to stop.

The belief Rohit (and Dravid) showed in Virat, constantly backing him and saying that it's his class that matters and he'll perform in the finals. Virat being the man he is and standing up when India needed him the most and proving Rohit right.

How Virat called Anushka and kids immediately after the win (making funny faces and shedding a few tears) showing that you're never too busy.

The tightest Rohirat hug with both of them crying and refusing to let go of each other just after the win. Matlab pura tournament we were crying for a RoKo moment and we got it at the best time possible.

Bumrah falling to his knees and showing that rare burst of emotions and then immediately running to Sanjana, hugging her so tight that he lifted her off the ground.

Hardik, the man who probably had the worst 7 to 8 months of his life with a smile on his face finally letting go and crying like a child. He turned all the boos into cheers.

Rohit consoling a crying Hardik and barging into his interview to give him a kiss on the cheek (and the way Hardik immediately melted) god how they bashed all the rumours.

Siraj not even being in the playing 11 but falling down to the ground sobbing and being speechless during the interviews.

Also streets will never forget Axar's contribution, Bapu served India again and man deserved every bit of credit.

Shivam Dube with his quickfire and crucial 21 run innings gutted all those who questioned his selection.

Arshdeep celebrating the win after being one of the best bowlers in the tournament in full Punjabi style. The tunak tunak bhangra with Virat will always be a part of numerous edits.

A teary Rohit hugging Virat again.

The Rohika hug omg how I love them.

Rahul Dravid showing more emotions than he did in the past 30 years and celebrating like a madman on his last day as the Indian coach. He truly had his Chak De moment and he bloody deserved it.

Surya taking the bloody catch of the tournament and giving us the chance to tell our future generations about the catch that helped us win the cup the same way our elder generation told us of the iconic Kapil Dev catch.

Virat giving the trophy to Dravid and the whole team lifting him as a tribute.

Rohit running into the ground with tricolour and plunging it into the ground, hoisting the flag in Barbados.

Kuldeep telling Rohit to do the Messi walk to lift the cup.

Rohit and Virat trashing all their rift rumours and posing with the trophy with the tricolour on their backs.

Rohit standing with Sammy on his shoulders, Virat by his side, trophy in his hands and the tricolour on his back.

Bumrah giving his medal to baby Angad and him giving Boom the softest smile.

Rahul Dravid being the Barbados ka Gunda

Sammy enjoying the lap of honour on his father's shoulder.

Rohit sitting down and eating some of the soil to relish the taste of victory. The whole world saw how important this was for him and how he cherished the very soil where they won instead of putting his legs on the trophy.

Virat making the day bittersweet by announcing his retirement from t20i after winning the POTM. The man who literally carried India in t20i's and t20 world cup said goodbye to the format leaving us all a little more teary.

Rohit letting Virat have his moment and instead casually announcing his retirement from t20i and making us cry even more. The man who scored 100s in t20 for fun left the stage with the trophy in his hand.

RoKo posing with the flag and the trophy being the last time they were seen together in t20s for India. Our childhood has really ended and so did an era. Extremely happy that they bid adieu with the trophy in their hands.

Jaddu following their steps and announcing his retirement from t20s also. All the seniors from the team are gone and passed the baton on, India will definitely miss it's best fielder in the t20 field.

All the Indians pouring out their love on social media not caring how big of a celebrity they are.

MS Dhoni making us realise that we need to win a world cup to make him remember his instagram password. Yer the fact that he never posted his pic with the trophy but posted India lifting the title under Rohit's captaincy at 1.30 am.

The entirety of India spilling onto the streets, screaming, crying, waving the tiranga and celebrating the win with raw emotions.

There are so many moments that I missed because yesterday was filled with raw emotions and beautiful moments so please don't hesitate to add you own. Our men in blue proved that for every 19th November there is a 29th June. I always complained (especially after 2023 wc) that how it was unfair that my grandfather got see India lifting the cup and so did my father but never me and last night all my complaints went out of the window. It was a night that I'll tell my kids about, a night that no Indian will ever forget, a night which was made even more special with the whole desiblr celebrating together. I read somewhere that "Indians have red blood running in their veins but they bleed blue" and this statement couldn't get any truer as our mental health really depended on these 11 men in blue. And finally after ages we closed our campaign with the cup in our hands and finally our legends had a deserving farewell. Bleed blue 💙

anon who sent in the ask about wanting to have a discussion about the vk-jos debate here. thank you for answering that!

yeah, you're right it pretty much boils down into what you consider the definition of impact! to me there isn't really a standard definition, because so many external factors come into play, but what i usually do is take a certain player's innings out of the equation while keeping the rest of the stats the same and see what the scores look like after that. also what my broadcast often shows is stats like "x team won this many percent of times when y batter from their team scored a certain no. of runs or y bowler took a certain no. of wickets. and that stood out as very interesting to me, there's some water in that argument there.

which is why i rate vk so high, because more often than not, take vk's runs out of the equation and india 9 times out of 10 wouldn't have won that match. this final is the prime example of that, reddit dudebros were at vk's throat to up the ante, but imo he played exactly as the situation required. in that scenario, vk getting stuck in was the best bet for us to be able to win that match, and we did! imagine instead of scoring 76 off 59 he scored something like 50 off 20 or a 30 off 15. yes he scores at a higher rate, but then we end up with a 20-40 less runs to defend, which is a more difficult job, and dareisay a different result for us.

also I feel like the debate about take vk out of the equation and we lose might be influenced by team combination? this is absolutely not an insult to england or jos, in fact it's a compliment. jos has rarely been needed to be a one-man army for england, because his teammates have hardly ever left him in that situation. vk, on the other hand, has dragged the team to wins with almost no support, and that honestly reflects worse on the other players on our team. i promise you, rohit wasn't always the batsman you've seen in this world cup 🥴 back in 2014/16, he used to be veeery hit and miss, and very often the openers would depart on ducks, and leave vk with a job to do. and madlad actually did get it done most of the times.

that's why i often get annoyed when people call vk selfish or a stats merchant or a statpadder. like yes, he plays slow, but the others didn't really give him an option apart from conserving his wicket? if he too gets out searching for the big shot, who's gonna bat deep and take us home? also, not to mention that vk is probably the best pacer of an innings of the current generation; he's so ruthless at the death, and can find the boundary at will. mohali and melbourne was proof of that.

and again vk is so devastatingly consistent and reliable in t20s. it's like whenever i watch rohit, or surya or even jos play, i have no idea whether they are gonna score 0 or 20 or 30 or 50 or 100, but whenever vk is batting, 9 times out of 10, i can count on him to score at the very least a 20. the big-hitters aren't really as consistent as him. jos definitely is one of the more consistent hitters, as are gayle and guptill, but to me, personally, nobody comes close to vk's consistency in t20s.

i think for me, the consistency is what cements vk as the best T20 batter of this generation to me, because i can't recall anyone else who has sustained their form and their ability to come clutch when necessary the way vk has.

(side note: i hadn't thought about this until this debate came up, but thoughts on a vk/jos opening partnership? it would really work out in my opinion, they complement each other perfectly 😋)

Yeah agree with a lot of what you said, and to reiterate I’m not denying he’s one of the best white ball batters to have ever played the game. I would still say Jos is more impact than VK though, but that’s all down to what I believe is an impact player.

Like I said before, VK sits with Joe and Steve and Kane as the Big 4 for a reason, but to me they’re not impact players. As you’ve said, you want them staying in, batting deep, holding their end of the wicket, slowing the game when it needs to be slowed or speeding it up when it needs to go faster, having that match awareness and that confidence that they’re not going out even when they get set.

That’s just not an impact player to me, that’s a high order batsman or an incredibly good batsman. Impact players, as you said, are a bit more inconsistent with what they score because of the way they play. Jos gets a solid 80 odd against USA with an incredible destructive innings so much so we didn’t even really need a second player, but in other games playing the same way he goes for 10 or less. Ben is the same - if he gets his eye in he’s an absolute machine but he can just as easily score 10 as he can 110.

A Jos and VK opening pair… yeah I’d pay good money to see that 😮‍💨

India's T20 World Cup Triumph 2024

 "Dhoni finishes off in style, It's India who win the World Cup." These lines said by Ravi Shastri had gone old with respect to India's World Cup Trophy drought. The most dominating team in bilateral series could not win an ICC Trophy and this was the biggest disappointment for ICT fans. After losing the 2023 world cup final, the first thought which came into my mind was that most probably 2024 t20 wc would be the last world cup Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will play together. So, this was their only chance for a world cup glory and they did not gave us a feeling of dismay, sadness and disappointment but an year full of cherishing memories, joy and happiness

India won the T20 World Cup 2024 happening in the USA and West Indies. They became the only team to win a world cup staying unbeaten. Their journey to the final was a happening one from the high pressure game against or the game against Australia. Especially, the game against Pakistan was a sheer representation of the evolution of Indian team's pace battery in the last decade. From 98 percentage of winning the match with Pakistan our pace battery broke their dreams of winning a game against India as they took the game from them in the last 10 overs. From the first game to the last one, India never looked a under confident or worn out team as they dominated everybody they faced badly. One such win was against Australia in the Super Eight which was personal for every Indian citizen ( If you know what I am talking about). Rohit's knock in that game was the indication of the frustration he had in himself after every knockout loss in every world cup in the last 5-6 years with more respect to 19th November. Then comes the Semifinal against England and that transition from 10 wicket win to 10 wickets out was outstanding. The game was one sided as soon as England completed their powerplay during the batting stint. Every cricket in the team was hungry of that silverware. So, they never looked back to the losses they had been facing but focused on their race to the unmatched legacy of winning a World Cup Trophy. The final was the best which could happen in an ICC tournament. It was not a cricket match a display of every emotion one can imagine in a game of cricket. India set a target of 177 and defend for India seemed easy until Klaseen smashed 24 runs in the 15th over and his team needed just 30 of 30 balls. India's pace attack pulled off a blinder from that stage by first Bumrah giving an economical over and then Hardik took the wicket of Klaseen to shift the momentum of the game on his side. The hidden hero was Arshdeep Singh who also pulled of two brilliant overs at the right - one in the middle and the other in the death. Last over consisted of South Africa requiring 16 runs and Hardik had to defend them. The first ball was a full toss indicating the pressure Hardik had with respect to his last 6 months. Miller swung his bat so hard but could not get the middle and it was the sticker that touched his bat but it was enough to go to the boundary but not above it as Suryakumar Yadav caught the ball and fancied India's chances to get the silverware. 

Virat Kohli was in tears and Rohit Sharma lied down to celebrate their undermining hard work in the last decade and the last time in this format. The pair decided to announce their retirement from T20I's together after getting their hands on the silverware. Looking back to their world cup triumph I see a roller coaster ride filled with emotions of joy, happiness and satisfaction. The trophy weighing 12kg which they lifted had made 1.3 billion people happy back home which they expressed through lighting firecrackers and doing individual parades. India became the first cricket team to win a T20I world cup unbeaten displaying their want to get hands on the trophy badly and they gave everything for it. We also gave everything for it and got the result back paying the debt of our worshipping to the team from the last 17 freaking years.  

Ravi Shastri's lines were replaced by the ones - Long on, Long On and what a catch, Suryakumar takes it and Miller's gone !!!!!!!!

The roots of women's cricket in India can be traced back to the 1970s, a time when the sport was predominantly male-dominated.

This organization played a crucial role in promoting and organizing women's cricket in its early days.

In 1976, the Indian women's cricket team played its first Test match against the West Indies in Bangalore, marking their entry into the international arena. Despite limited resources and recognition, these pioneering women cricketers showcased their talent and passion, setting the stage for future generations.

Key Milestones and Achievements

Harmanpreet Kaur: Harmanpreet's explosive batting and leadership qualities have made her a vital part of the Indian team. Her innings of 171* against Australia in the 2017 World Cup semi-final is considered one of the greatest knocks in women's cricket history.

The success of players like Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, and Jemimah Rodrigues indicates a bright future for the sport. Continued investment in infrastructure, training facilities, and grassroots development will be crucial in maintaining and enhancing India's status in international women's cricket.

T20 World Cup 2024 final: India wins in Barbados after 13-year draught

The ICC Men’s Twenty20 World Cup was won by India in a nail-biting final, edging out South Africa by seven runs. The match was a fitting climax to a sensational tournament, with both unbeaten teams battling fiercely for the prestigious title. India’s triumph marked their first T20 World Cup win in over a decade, while South Africa’s quest for their inaugural world title continues.

The Epic Battle Unfolds

The stage was set at the Kensington Oval, Barbados, where cricket fans worldwide were treated to an unforgettable final. India’s captain won the toss and opted to bat first, setting the tone for a high-stakes encounter.

India's Innings: Kohli's Masterclass

India posted a formidable total of 176/7, thanks in large part to an attritional 76 from the ever-reliable Virat Kohli. Despite losing key wickets early, with Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant falling in quick succession to Keshav Maharaj, and Suryakumar Yadav being dismissed cheaply by Kagiso Rabada, India managed to stabilize their innings.

Virat Kohli and Axar Patel formed a vital partnership, adding 72 runs for the fourth wicket. Their stand was broken by a superb piece of fielding from Quinton de Kock, who ran out Axar with a direct hit. Kohli continued to anchor the innings, forging another crucial partnership with Shivam Dube. However, South Africa made late inroads, with Anrich Nortje’s double strike in the final over, removing Dube and Ravindra Jadeja, limiting India’s total.

South Africa's Chase: De Kock and Klaasen's Heroics

South Africa’s chase began on a shaky note, losing Reeza Hendricks to a perfect delivery from Jasprit Bumrah in the second over, followed by Aiden Markram’s dismissal by Arshdeep Singh. Quinton de Kock steadied the ship, partnering with Tristan Stubbs for a 58-run stand.

After Stubbs fell to Axar Patel, Heinrich Klaasen joined de Kock, and the duo kept South Africa’s hopes alive. De Kock’s valuable 39 came to an end as he was caught by Kuldeep Yadav off Arshdeep Singh. David Miller and Klaasen then took the attack to the Indian bowlers, bringing the required run-rate down to a run a ball with 30 runs needed.

However, Klaasen’s departure for 52, caught behind off Hardik Pandya, and Miller’s dismissal in the final over to a brilliant catch by Suryakumar Yadav, turned the tide in India’s favor. Despite the best efforts of Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada, South Africa fell agonizingly short, finishing eight runs shy of the target.

Fan Reactions:

– “What a final! Kudos to both teams for such a thrilling game. Congrats India! #INDvsSA #T20WorldCupFinal”

– “Virat Kohli’s 76 was a masterclass under pressure. Well-deserved win for India! #ViratKohli #Cricket”

– “Heartbreak for South Africa, but they played brilliantly. Klaasen and De Kock were superb. #QuintonDeKock #HeinrichKlaasen”

India’s triumph in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa will be remembered as one of the most thrilling matches in cricket history. As the cricketing world celebrates, the players and fans look forward to more exciting contests and the next opportunity for glory on the global stage.

This triumph propels India into the final, where they will face South Africa. The anticipation is palpable, as fans gear up for what promises to be an epic showdown. The team’s journey has been nothing short of inspirational, marked by determination, skill, and a never-say-die attitude.

Jos is any day a better T20 batsman than VK. VK has got more records, but the impact Jos has is unparalleled

HAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣

I'm sorry but

HAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣

I'm curious, what exactly is considered "impact"? How about being the highest run-scorer of 2 T20 World Cups? How about being the player of the tournament in consecutive T20 World Cups? Virat did that. You know what else he did? India played 6 knockout matches between 2014 and 2024. Virat has made a half century or more than that in 5 out of those 6 matches. That's just shy of 400 runs in 6 matches. It makes his average in T20 WC knockout matches over 90. If that's not impactful, I don't know what is.

Is impact related to strike rate? Virat scored 70 off 29 against West Indies, 94 in some 50 odd balls against WI, and his century against Afghanistan came in 52 balls. The first knock has a strike rate of over 200. Virat chased down 48 off the last 3 overs against Pakistan at the MCG in 2022 and 39 off the last 3 overs against Australia at Mohali in 2016. The latter was a virtual quarter final, and Virat's knock guaranteed India's progress to the semi finals.

Is impact related to hitting sixes? Well, for all that Jos is a renowned six-hitter, it was Virat's six against Haris Rauf at the MCG was declared the shot of the century by ICC. An equation that read 28 off 8 became 16 off 6. It was Virat who hit the two sixes that were required to get it down till here.

Virat has time and again won matches out of nowhere for India. The Mohali 82 against Australia, the MCG 82 against Pakistan, the 72 in 2014 SFs vs South Africa, I can go on and on here-- Heck, Virat was most of the, if not the sole reason that India got as far as they did in the 2014, 2016 and 2022 editions of the T20 World Cup. He is a massively impactful player, who delivers whenever needed. Even yesterday's final, take Virat's 76 out of the equation and we had only a 100 on the board to defend. I doubt even Jasprit could have done much with that.

Virat ended his career in T20s as unquestionably the best T20 player of this generation. Nobody comes close to having the kind of impact he does on the game. He carried India in almost every single T20 World Cup he played, and nobody deserved to lift that trophy as much as he did.

I did not intend this as an insult to Jos. He is a great player, one of the very best to have played the game, but he's not better than Virat. Nope, sorry, he isn't. And it isn't limited to Jos either. There isn't any player in the world, not Rohit, not Warner, not Babar, not Maxwell, no nobody in this generation comes close to having the kind of class, poise and impact of Kohli in T20s.

People are allowed differing opinions - sure, the stats say Virat but in terms of coming in when the team needs and changing the game momentum Jos is one of the best at having an impact

Numbers aren’t always everything, I think is the point the original ask was making. And honestly, looking at the tournament that just concluded, VK really only made an impact in the final, whilst Jos was a lynchpin to a lot of England’s batting innings.

Not saying you’re wrong and - as I said - everyone has opinions and it’s great they’re different because it allows us to discuss thing :) But I think the original ask was talking more about match impact than stats. There is a reason he was RR’s impact batsman for the IPL this year.

Clive Madande: Franchise Cricket Can Bring New Talent to Zimbabwe

Wicketkeeper Clive Madande hopes his team can put up a strong performance against India in the upcoming five-match T20 series starting Saturday. He believes that greater participation in franchise cricket could attract more young talent to the sport in Zimbabwe.

The Day Cricket Became a Passion

Clive Madande’s love for cricket began as a 12-year-old when his father took him to watch a Test match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club in 2014. Zimbabwe’s victory by 24 runs left a lasting impression on him. “It was one of the greatest days in Zimbabwean cricket. We beat Pakistan, and I thought, well, I should play this game,” Madande recalls. Now, a decade later, he is a key figure in reviving Zimbabwe’s cricketing legacy.

The Struggles of Zimbabwean Cricket

Despite that memorable victory, Zimbabwe’s cricket has faced numerous challenges over the past decade. Administrative issues, lack of infrastructure, government interference, salary cuts, and a talent shortage have hindered progress. While there have been occasional upsets, such as beating Australia in an ODI in Townsville and Pakistan in the 2022 World Cup, the golden era of players like the Flower brothers, Neil Johnson, Murray Goodwin, and Heath Streak is a distant memory.

Seeking Guidance from Legends

Madande often seeks advice and motivation from Zimbabwean cricket legends like Dave Houghton and Tatenda Taibu. “Guys like Houghton and Taibu, I speak to them regularly for advice, motivation, and tips. Whenever I feel like struggling, I go back to them,” he says.

Upcoming Challenges and Opportunities

Zimbabwe has a busy schedule ahead, starting with the India T20I series. They will host all top nations except Australia and tour countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and England. Madande sees these matches as a big motivation to play harder and smarter. “Like we showed in the series against Bangladesh, we have talent. We played good cricket there, just that we couldn’t get the results we wanted,” he explains.

Experience and Talent in the Squad

Led by the seasoned Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe’s team includes experienced players like all-rounders Luke Jongwe and Wessly Madhevere, fast bowlers Tendai Chatara and Blessing Muzarabani. Playing in front of home crowds is a huge advantage. “We would be playing in our backyard; there will be a lot of people cheering for us. It’s still the most popular sport in the country, and a lot of youngsters and schoolboys play this game,” Madande says.

Learning from the Best

Madande acknowledges the strength of the Indian team, even though it is an in-transition squad. He admires players like Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, and Jitesh Sharma. The 24-year-old knows that strong performances could attract the attention of IPL scouts. “If more of us get to play cricket in franchises, the game would draw more young talent to it, which would be good for the game overall in the country,” he says.

Building a Bright Future

Zimbabwe Cricket is planning to establish a national cricket academy, refurbish the domestic league, and install indoor training facilities at all five domestic centers. Madande is optimistic that these efforts will help Zimbabwe rediscover its giant-slaying mojo and inspire more youngsters to fall in love with the game, just as he did a decade ago.

India vs Pakistan Cricket Series in Australia? Cricket Australia Hopes So

The long-standing cricket rivalry between India and Pakistan has been limited to ICC tournaments since their last bilateral series in 2012–13. However, Cricket Australia (CA) is keen on changing that by hosting a bilateral series between the two cricketing giants in Australia.

Cricket Australia’s Proposal

Nick Hockley, Chief Executive of Cricket Australia, has expressed a strong interest in facilitating an India vs Pakistan bilateral series down under. During a media interaction with The Indian Express, Hockley stated, “If we can play a role in helping and facilitating the India vs Pakistan bilateral series, we would be more than happy to do so.”

Historical Context and Recent Matches

The most recent encounter between India and Pakistan occurred during the 2024 T20 World Cup group stage in New York, where India emerged victorious by six runs. India, led by Rohit Sharma, went on to win the trophy, while Pakistan, under Babar Azam, were knocked out in the group stage.

This followed another thrilling match at the 2022 T20 World Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), where a crowd of 90,293 witnessed a last-ball victory by India. This exciting encounter has fueled interest from both the Melbourne Cricket Club and the Victorian government in hosting future bilateral matches at the MCG.

Scheduling and Future Plans

While formal discussions have not yet taken place due to scheduling constraints, Hockley has reiterated CA’s willingness to host the series. “Given the schedules, we haven’t had formal discussions in that regard, but we have said it on the record that we will be happy to host the India vs Pakistan bilateral series,” Hockley said.

The Future of ODI Cricket

Hockley also touched on the future of One Day International (ODI) cricket. Despite Australia being the defending champions, he emphasized the need for bilateral ODI series to have meaningful contests to maintain their relevance. “The ODI World Cup which India hosted last year was fantastic. I think the ten-team format, where every game counts is excellent,” he noted.

Hockley suggested that bilateral ODI series should have consequences similar to the World Test Championships to ensure each match carries weight. “Each series must have consequences, like the Test matches, which help you to progress in the World Test Championships (WTC) finals. We need something similar for the white ball format, be it the rankings or other factors that relate to qualifications for the World Cups,” he added.

Looking Ahead

From Cricket Australia’s perspective, the importance of maintaining all three formats of the game is clear. Hockley emphasized that each bilateral series should contribute to World Cup qualifications, ensuring every match holds significance.

The prospect of an India vs Pakistan bilateral series in Australia is an exciting one, potentially rekindling one of cricket’s greatest rivalries on neutral ground. Cricket Australia’s interest signals a possible new chapter for international cricket fans eagerly awaiting such iconic matches outside ICC events.
