NEW DELHI: India's triumphant victory over South Africa in the T20 World Cup final in Barbados on Saturday marked the end of a 17-year drought since their last title in the inaugural edition back in 2007. The seven-run win was a hard-fought battle against the first-time finalists.
The Indian cricket team's journey to reclaim the coveted trophy has been filled with near misses and heartbreaks over the years. The fans have witnessed their side come tantalizingly close to glory on multiple occasions, only to fall short at the final hurdle.
