T20 World Cup: Former India captain MS Dhoni congratulated the Indian team after their historic triumph in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, saying it was a “pleasure” to watch the side create history with their dominant performance in the final against New Zealand.

India scripted a remarkable chapter in cricket history by defeating New Zealand by 96 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday to become the first team to retain the Men’s T20 World Cup title, the first to win three crowns in the tournament, and the first side to lift the trophy at home.

Captain Suryakumar Yadav led India to the title with an unbeaten run since taking charge in July 2024, while Sanju Samson’s blistering 89 helped the hosts post a massive 255/5 before the bowlers dismantled New Zealand for 159.
