The Indian team won the title for the second time after defeating South Africa by seven runs in the finals of the T20 World Cup 2024. Later, Virat Kohli announced his retirement from the T20I format.
After struggling to score runs in the previous matches of the T20 World Cup 2024, Kohli played a knock of 76 runs off just 59 deliveries. His gritty knock was laced with 6 fours and 2 sixes.

Virat Kohli's sister Bhawna Kohli Dhingra took to her official Instagram account to share pictures where the stalwart India batter was seen celebrating the victory with his niece.

The T20 World Cup-winning Indian team touched down in Delhi this morning to a warm welcome from the fans awaiting the sight of their favourite heroes and the sight of the silverware.
The squad members, support staff, their families and media were stuck in Barbados, which was hit by Hurricane Beryl, at that stage a category four hurricane that passed through Barbados, with Grantley Adams International Airport in Bridgetown shut for three days.
The flight was organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah and departed on July 2 before arriving in Delhi at around 6:00 AM on Thursday morning. Board officials and members of the media contingent from the tournament were also on the flight.
India ended a 13-year ICC trophy drought with victory in the final, defeating South Africa by seven runs on Saturday. Virat Kohli's 76 helped India reach 176/7 while Hardik Pandya (3/20) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/18) helped India restrict Proteas to 169/8 despite Heinrich Klaasen's 52 in just 27 balls. Bumrah, who got 15 scalps throughout the tournament at a stunning economy rate of 4.17, got the 'Player of the Tournament' honours.
Much like other teams do after winning titles, the Rohit-led side will have an open-top bus ride in Mumbai at Marine Drive and the iconic Wankhede Stadium from 5:00 pm onwards to celebrate.
