Really?? 🫨🫨

Now to the game. India managed to get 176 runs on the board as Virat Kohli scored his first fifty of the tournament. He anchored through after Rohit and Rishabh were put early, and many might have questioned his intent had the result gone the other way, but for now it will be celebrated as a master knock by the man who knows exactly how to accelerate in this format. Shivam Dube and Axar Patel got handy contributions for India too. In reply, Hendricks was knocked over by a superb Bumrah outswinger and Markram fell cheaply as well. However, Stubbs played well against the spinners and got South Africa in the ascendancy after the powerplay. He was dismissed but de Kock and Klaasen stitched together a partnership. Klaasen was in a murderous mood as he got to a 23-ball fifty, and took down Axar for a 24-run over. The equation was down to 30 off the last five overs, but India's pacers managed to pull a real rabbit out of the bag. Hardik got Klaasen, then Bumrah knocked over Jansen as South Africa felt the pressure. Arshdeep then bowled a brilliant penultimate over, conceding just 4 and Hardik Pandya bowled like a champion to close out the game and give India a win by 7 runs.

What happened after the last ball when India were confirmed as champs: Arshdeep rolled the ball back to the bowler. Pandya is seen sobbing uncontrollably like a child. Rohit went flat on his back - head down, slapped his hands on the turf 4-5 times and is seen shaking his head after he gets up. A tear or two from the Indian captain too. The Indian support staff run all the way to the players to hug and celebrate. Dravid envelops Kohli in a hug, the latter visibly relieved, did he too shed a tear or two? Meanwhile in the South African camp it's opposite reactions - Miller is near the LED boundary hoardings head down unable to believe what has just happened. With India still celebrating and with South Africa coming out, waiting to shake hands, Rohit asks his players to come down for those rituals. Siraj is crying his eyes out too. Rohit hugs Kohli with both emotional. Rohit then folds his hands and does a namaskar to presumably someone up above. What scenes. This is what elite sport is all about.

Jj: "Damn bumrah and damn sky for that catch. Why no one's talking about that catch under pressure. You think it's easy??" There will be plenty chat about it in the final analysis. Right now it's all a bit too breathless!

Anjan: "Scenes from Lagaan happening in Providence." It truly is meant to be!

SKY ka that catch was super crucial

As last over mein baarisb bhi start ho gayi thi

Still he took such a fantastic catch of the last most important person for SA
