Great appreciation for your agenda free coverage unlike UK and Pakistani media. You enjoy the game like we do and it's an amazing listen.

Kapil in 1983, Yuvraj in 2011, Hardik and Axar in 2024. All rounders always give that EXTRA edge to winning matches and tournaments. From an English perspective, you can think of Stokes 2019. India should concentrate on the development and grooming of all rounders, pace and spin. Its what South Africa, missed yesterday. Pretty confusing for a country that boasts of Kluesner, Kallis, Pollock, Albie and Morris, to not have a quality all rounder.

Incredible win! 💙 🏏
👑 Kohli stepped up in the final!
Axar and Dube also batted well.
And then Bumrah magic + Pandya, Arshdeep, Sky finished amazingly 👏
Unbeaten and now champions 🏆

Summary of world cricket: India currently is the best, most consistent all format, all surface team. For the last 1-2 years.
They beat almost everyone in bilateral series , reached the finals of all ICC tournaments.
That said, teams like Australia on their day can absolutely have a higher ceiling. But over a longer tournament / series, the quality of India will prevail.

8:13 if Bumrah there was Hardik too... Also Arshdeep did well as them.. so they gave man of the match to Virat..

India won by 5 runs against Pakistan in 2007, by 7 runs against South Africa, what an innings in final by Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya and Bumrah turned the match, Sky caught the catch of the tournament. Roko legendary retired after winning T20WC glory for India, Indian team will never be same after Roko, Jadeja will be missing in dugout after retirement. An era ends.

Lovely analysis and insights. Pure cricket conversations can never go out of trend. The experts we actually need…

South Africa did not choke this time... it was one of the greatest final and one team had to win and it was India who lifted the cup. But, in the hindsight, the best 2 team played one of the most memorable final ever. Yes, 2019 final was memorable, but due to recency effect, I'd consider this T20 final one of the greatest ever played so far. Probably the only team losing a match that can get an Indian fan teary eye is South Africa. It felt the same way back in 2015 Semis between NZ vs SA. Your eyes are bound to get teary when you see tears on these SA players. Kudos to the team, and what a champ Miller and Klaasen were..
