Cricket legends

India's T20 World Cup victory is a fitting tribute to cricket legends Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and coach Rahul Dravid. The win is especially meaningful for Sharma, who led the team to victory after a disappointing loss in the 50-over World Cup final. The victory also showcased the skills of India's bowlers, including Hardik Pandya, who experienced a moment of redemption after a tough season in the IPL. Overall, the win was a moment of poetic justice and heartwarming triumph for the team, BBC reports.
