Hardik: "It's very emotional, something was not clicking, but this was something the whole nation wanted. Special for me after my six months, I haven't spoken a word, things have been unfair, but I knew there'd be a time I could shine. An opportunity like this makes it all the more special. We always believed, stayed calm, let the pressure come to them. Last over, I knew I had to execute my plans. I have been in this situation, I enjoy the pressure situation."

Hard luck SA I can only imagine what y'all must be going through esp after coming so close.

So happy that Bumrah won't have to retire without a trophy.

From the CT disaster to carrying the team through so many tournaments, what a journey

Bumrah is 30

He will minimum play till 35-37 this wasn't his last.

But most probably it was last for Kohli, Rohit, Jadeja.

Dravid's last day as coach ... "I am happy for him, wonderful man, good relationship with him, became friends, excited for him." He signs off with a kiss from his captain!

India did it

What a game what a game


30 from 30 ball it was

And we won

30 balls mein waqt jazbaat duniya sab badal gayi

Oh my God what a rollercoaster

2.08pm Jay Shah and Dravid pose for a photo... Here's Bumrah: "I am game-changer Jasprit Bumrah, I am thinking it's an unbelievable feeling. Last year, I lost the game, but this match, the feeling is unbelievable. I am grateful and blessed!"

And what about Hardik Pandya, trolled incessantly during the IPL both personally and professionally, he has come up with arguably the World Cup winning moment by getting Klaasen out. At that stage, South Africa needed 30 off 30 and crucially there was a break in play with Pant receiving attention. That break potentially disrupted South Africa and Klaasen fell next ball, from there, India turned it around dramatically to win from nowhere. Coming back to Pandya, the tears at the end when he sobbed so much showed how much this meant to him. Maybe it was written in the stars that he had to do it for India after all the stuff he had to go through in the last 6 months. He has kept a dignified silence all through that period when it wouldn't have been easy at all. Lesser mortals would have succumbed. Not Hardik. Today is about life coming full circle for him. And then the tears did not stop. Fitting finale for a man who has come clutch at the right time when India needed it most.
