Jasprit Bumrah snapped up 4 wickets while Axar Patel took 3 as India became the first team to retain the T20 World Cup title as they defeated New Zealand by 96 runs. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side is also the only team to win a World cup title on home soil.

Earlier, Sanju Samson slammed 89 while Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma scored half centuries before Shivam Dube played a blistering cameo in the end as India posted 255/5, the highest ever score in a T20 World Cup final, in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Jimmy Neesham was the pick of the Kiwis bowlers, taking 3 wickets.

Earlier, New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner won the toss and opted to bowl first against Suryakumar Yadav’s India at Narendra Modi Stadium, a venue where, not too long ago, India had suffered a cruel heartbreak in the ODI World Cup final.

Pretty good wicket throughout. 220 could have been chased down. Credit to Abhishek and Sanju. not lot of swing. bowlers tried not to bowl in their arc but they were really good lost to a very good team they know how to play in these conditions they were striking well right till the end with Shivam Dube coming in losing finals is not ideal but then you come up against good teams they showed their class it is unfortunate for us that Samson saved his runs for the wc. Against the best teams, you will be exposed. Thanks to fans for following us. have to go to work without a trophy. Not our greatest effort, but we came up against a strong team. We will reflect as a group the players should be proud.
