Indian fans, who had performed fire rituals and held prayer meetings ahead of the final, poured into the streets to celebrate the Men in Blue's seven-run victory. This win marked India's first ICC title in 13 years, a triumph against all odds that brought immense joy to the nation.

Virat Kohli, who had struggled throughout the tournament with only 75 runs in seven innings, delivered a match-winning performance in the final, scoring 76 runs. His stellar performance earned him the player of the match accolade and filled the missing spot in his illustrious career—a T20 World Cup trophy.
