BCCI president Roger Binny. File | Photo Credit: R. Ragu BCCI president Roger Binny says it will take another two-three years for the Indian T20 team to "come into its own" again given the void that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's international retirement from the format will create.Rohit, 37, and Virat, 35, called it quits from T20Is after playing pivotal roles in India's second world triumph in the format here. The 2007 champions defeated South Africa by seven runs in a high-voltage summit clash on Saturday to end their painful 11-year wait for an ICC trophy. "There is so much talent in the IPL.

T20 World Cup 2024: Aiden Markram feels Proteas managed to get rid of chokers’ tag to an extent by making first WC final

South Africa captain Aiden Markram cuts a dejected figure after losing to India in the ICC Twenty20 world cup 2024 final in Barbados on June 29, 2024. | Photo Credit: Getty Images A devastated South African skipper Aiden Markram is hopeful that at some point he would be able to see the good in his team's T20 World Cup campaign but for now, all he feels is a "sting" which, he hopes, will ensure a "fire in the belly for next time". South Africa needed 30 off 30 balls in a chase of 176 against India but fell short by seven runs despite Heinrich Klaasen's awe-inspiring 27-ball 52 in the see-saw summit clash in Bridgetown on June 29. India had Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya's death bowling and a blinder of a catch by Suryakumar Yadav to thank for the close win after the peerless Virat Koh...

Rahul Dravid says memory of a lifetime for me but I don’t believe in things like redemption and legacy after T20 WC victory

The great Rahul Dravid was not his usual restrained self after India's T20 World Cup glory and couldn't thank his wards enough for helping him live what he "wasn't lucky as a player" to experience — the heady feeling of being a world champion.With head coach Dravid watching the action from the dugout, skipper Rohit Sharma marshalled his resources beautifully as India held their nerve to eke out a seven-run victory over South Africa in a thrilling finale and win the T20 World Cup to end an 11-year ICC title drought. "I really have felt short of words over the last few hours. I just could not be more proud of this team, the way we had to fight difficult situations," Dravid said after the triumph.

Axar Patel, the Jayasuriya of Nadiad, makes years of perfecting his cricket count in World Cup final

Occasionally, Rishabh Pant can be heard chirping from behind the stumps, “Jayasuriya, left mey ja,” referring to Axar Patel. That’s his childhood nickname, earned from his bludgeoning efforts on the flood-lit tennis-ball circuit in Nadiad, 60 kms away from Ahmedabad. The man who never wanted to bowl in his growing up years, but would play for India for his left-arm spin, found the biggest stage to relive his childhood highs. Incidentally, Axar was the last person to be inked in the 15-member squad as the selectors tussled between him and Washington Sundar but in the end they made the right call to trust Axar to come good. But it’s an entirely different matter to do it in a World Cup final under pressure, with the big guns Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav back in the hut. To arch back ...

India vs South Africa: Champion or choker? World will judge them tonight – but that’s not fair

TEAM INDIA hasn’t won an ICC World Cup since 2011. South Africa’s record is worse – they are yet to play a World Cup final. The teams historically disinclined towards winning big games, packed with players carrying painful so-near-yet-so-far memories, will meet at Barbados on Saturday. The unimaginative and the insensitive are calling the 2024 ICC T20 World final a Chokers Derby with redemption as the reward.Fans in two continents, traumatised by previous World Cup heartbreaks, will have butterflies inside them charging like buffaloes. They have waited for the Cup to come home for far too long. But with hope, comes a rider.

IND vs SA T20 World Cup 2024 Final Playing 11: Virat Kohli-Shivam Dube form in question, Ottneil Bartman returns for South Africa

India vs South Africa T20 World Cup 2024 Final Playing 11: India will take on South Africa in the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown in Barbados. Both sides have been unbeaten in the tournament going into the game. While South Africa will play their first T20 World Cup final India will be playing their third (earlier in 2007 and 2014). Rohit Sharma’s man has thrashed England in their semifinal in Guyana and looked well-rounded in all departments. With the bowling firing on all cylinders, any conditions in Barbados should not be a problem for the one-time champions. However, batting has blown hot and cold for India in the tournament which is something the Pace attack of South Africa might look to exploit. The Proteas pace attack made a mockery of the high-fly...

IND vs SA 2024, T20 World Cup 2024 Final Live Streaming: When and where to watch India vs South Africa live?

India vs South Africa ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Final Live Streaming: A firm grip on emotions will be crucial when the formidable Indian team, desperate to end its lengthy title drought, makes another attempt at getting the monkey off its back against a South African side, which is unfamiliar with the winning feeling, in the T20 World Cup final on Saturday. India’s campaign in the tournament has been remarkably similar to the one in the ODI World Cup at home last year where they breezed into the final only to be bettered by Australia on the big stage. They are unbeaten here too and have been the best of the tournament by far. More importantly, they don’t have the battle-hardened Australia in their way of an elusive trophy this time around. Here are the live streaming details of India vs S...
