T20 World Cup: ‘Special For Me After My Six Months', Pandya After Delivering Title-winning Over Against SA

T20 World Cup: India has officially ended their 11-year drought at ICC tournaments with a victory over South Africa by seven runs in the final of the 2024 T20 World Cup at Kensington Oval.

There are not many people who will be as relieved as Team India vice-captain Hardik Pandya. The all-rounder has been under the microscope ever since his move from the Gujarat Titans to the Mumbai Indians and has been subjected to a lot of hate and criticism.

Although he could not show his prowess with the bat, Pandya was called upon at the most difficult of times. India needed to defend 16 runs off the final over and the 30-years-old managed to remove the all-important wicket of David Miller giving India the upper hand. He ended up removing Rabada later that over and sealed the seven-run victory for the side.
