Sachin Tendulkar remarked, "Every star added to the Team India jersey inspires our nation’s starry-eyed children to move closer to their dreams. India earns its 4th star, our second in T20WC. From lows in 2007 to becoming a cricketing powerhouse, winning the 2024 T20WC in the West Indies completes our circle. Delighted for Rahul Dravid, who missed 2011's triumph but contributed immensely here. Rohit Sharma's superb captaincy rebounded us from the 2023 ODI World Cup loss to focus on this T20 World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah's Player of the Tournament and Virat Kohli's Player of the Match awards were well-deserved; they excelled when it counted. Rahul, Paras Mhambrey, and Vikram Rathour, debuting in '96, guided Team India admirably. A team triumph! Congratulations to players, coaches, support staff, and BCCI.

A great game. Well done #SouthAfrica, but the men in blue are Champions today. Congratulations everyone.
