Captain Rohit Sharma was seen sliding onto the grass, face-first, while shouting with joy. Tears could be seen on the faces of the senior players, especially the likes of Sharma, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj and Hardik Pandya.

Pandya's nerves of steel in the final ensured India victory, ending an 11-year wait for an ICC title. The team's emotional celebration reflected the importance of this win, with captain Rohit Sharma overwhelmed with emotion, coach Rahul Dravid jumping for joy and players like Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya crying with happiness.

This victory marked a historic moment as India joined the West Indies and England as the only teams to win the Men's T20 World Cup twice. The victory was not just about lifting the trophy, but also about overcoming past disappointments and vindicating years of hard work and dedication.

This was India's third ICC final in the last 12 months, and the Men in Blue finally ended their 11-year drought of a major title, winning the Men's T20 World Cup, a feat they last achieved in the inaugural edition in 2007.

This is India's fourth overall World Cup title in 1983, ahead of Dhoni's Young Guns in the 2007 T20 WC and the ODI champions in 2011. Now Rohit's boys have added another chapter to the yearbooks of Indian cricket history.

For players like Hardik Pandya, it was a journey of resilience and redemption, silencing the critics and proving his worth on the biggest stage. This momentous victory will remain etched in the memories of Indian fans across the world, a testament to the team's unwavering spirit and determination.

The hearts of fans and critics alike melted as they watched on television screens the beautiful scenes unfolding at the stadium with Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya, who have been in the eye of the storm ever since Pandya took over the captaincy of Mumbai Indians at the hands of Rohit. The duo had no hard feelings on Saturday and celebrated with the captain on their cheek.
