India Creates History

India defeated the New Zealand national cricket team by 96 runs in the final held in Ahmedabad. With this win, India became the first team to win the T20 World Cup three times and also the first to claim the trophy in two consecutive editions.

The triumph was even more special as it marked the first time a team lifted the T20 World Cup on home soil.
