India's victory was secured in dramatic fashion as Hardik Pandya defended 16 runs in the final over. This win ended India's 11-year-long ICC title drought, marking their second T20 World Cup triumph. 

The narrow victory was particularly significant as it was Kohli's last T20I match, a fact he confirmed in a tearful post-match moment.

During the post-match presentation, Rohit Sharma also announced his retirement, stating, “It is his last T20I match.” Kohli’s retirement from T20Is marks the end of an era, while the summit clash was also the final game for Rahul Dravid as India's head coach.
