Well done, India

Congratulations to our Men in Blue for their thumping victory over the Black Caps to lift the T20 World Cup for a record third time. In a series of firsts, dominant India became the first country to win the T20 World Cup at home, first to defend its crown and the first to win the trophy for the third time since its inception.

It was total teamwork that enabled our team to achieve these records. After their defeat to South Africa, during the Super 8, the think tank had decided to bring in Sanju Samson to bolster the team’s chances. Thankfully, he did not disappoint the team and his fans.

First, his unbeaten 97 enabled our team to win over the ever fighting West Indies in Kolkata to qualify for the semi-final place. In this semi-final, he followed it with a score of 89 to post a daunting target for England to chase, which they almost did in style.

Then came the turning point of excellent catches by our players, especially the one Axar took to dismiss England captain Brook and the dynamic Jack, which turned the game in India’s favour.
