There is a big difference and that is Pakistan are never expected to win ICC tournaments and India are expected to win every one they participate in!

Pakistan can reach the semis of every global tournament. Every time its been losing some game where they are fancied. Windies in the 2019 WC, Afghanistan/SA in 2023 and USA in 2024

Oh am sure majority of them value this win over that

The following for t20 cricket is enough proof.
 
A well deserved victory for team India
India demolished minnows ,as well as strong teams such as Aus,Eng, SA,Afg en route to winning T20 World cup.
They defended a low score on a seaming NY track. On the same track they chased well as well to win against Ire.
They scored 170's and 190's on bouncy tracks and defended those totals in super 8's with big margins.
On a turning track they scores 170 and the demolished Eng in SF and this despite loosing a must win toss based on conditions and rain threat.

The bowling was phenomenal. Arshdeep is called a trundler but hey such wicket taking trundlers are needed rather than ""'pace is pace' -hit me for sixes please"" bowlers ;). Spinners stuck to their line and length and did not try anything extra ordinary. Bumrah is one of the best white ball bowlers in last 50 years, if not the best.
The bench strength of India batters( Jaiswal, Rinku, Samson) was such that in any other Asian team they would be super star and first name on their batters list.
Finally IPL has to get the credit for this world cup win. If IPL has been blamed for past performances, then IPL is the reason today how Indian team handled pressure because they have seen similar pressure again and again in IPL and have adapted to the different pitches.

And lastly, Afghanistan proved they are learning from Indian grounds and IPL participation. They will be second best in Asia in about 3-5 years time.

India now has 2 x T20 WC, 2 X ODI WC , 2 C CT

As the ODI format dies , the significance of the ODI WC will reduce too. 10-15 years down the line people wont covet these trophies like we Indians do with 1983/2011 and Pakistan with 1992. There is a mythology associated with the first world cup win , no doubt
 
Congratulations to all my fellow Indians and to Pakistani fans who have supported us today. Finally we have broken the jinx and hopefully this is the start of many ICC tournament victories.

I expect couple of more silverwares before this decade end. We have good chance of winning next years CT and Wt20 2026 in India.

Jasprit Bumrah makes it a 16 over innings for the opposition. You simply don't hit his 4 overs.

Congratulations India - those emotional scenes tell you what international cricket STILL means. Franchise cricket is a financial juggernaut yes, but winning a World Cup for your nation is remembered for immortality.

i always thought the same. opposition gets to play on 16 overs against India in Bumrah’s presence
 
Saffers continue to hold tag of chokers despite Bumrah and Kohli being ATG.
 
Congratulations to all Indian fans and posters here. I didn’t watch a single match live but I have been following scorecards on Cricinfo and India have been the best team and are deserving winners.
 
Nobody was capturing SA players emotions

I feel for them, not easy to lose a game that is this big, they had both hands on the trophy

Don’t know how the players in the SA room are coping up with this loss

Really feeling sorry for them.

Can't imagine it. Truly sickening. They should let what India done after November inspire them but they don't have a Rohit type leader.
 
Went in to the tournament with zero expectations thanks to some mind boggling selection choices but glad that we finally got the monkey off our backs.

On another note...it just goes to show how much impact luck has in tournament wins/losses. That sky catch any other day would have gone for six and everything would have been different now. Such tiny margin..

The irony is 2023 team was way better for ODI than this is for T20. Also struggling Aussie was not such a good team . India should have won it comfortably.

Rahul innings was the difference .

We should have scored 270+ in 2023 world cup final .

Today kohli bat till the 19 overs and make sure we Posted competition total .

It was just one off day, but unfortunately that off day came in the final.

But I disagree that the 2023 ODI team was better than this one. Our middle order in 2023 was very very dicey. This time around our middle order clicked and we were batting really deep. Infact, we had the best performing middle order/finishers of all the teams in this WC.
 
2011 IND was much weaker than 2019, 2023 ODI team and also 2024 T20 team. However they still won with likes Munaf, Zaheer.

2024 T20 was most complete Indian lineup.

Zaheer was the highest wicket taker in that tournament, Munaf also bowled extremely well.
Zaheer after 2008 was literally our bowling captain, Dhoni always took his suggestion.

About Mamoon, not sure what has made him go so riled up against the Indian team these days.

But among the others that you have mentioned the Joker sweepshot will take the cake when it comes to being a certified ill-intentioned anti-India troll from BD. Expect him to go underground as usual till another India downfall scenario happens.

Thanks OP and to all the well-wishers here in PP, appreciate the gesture. :thumbsup

Keeping your nerves in situations where tiny margins are critical is essential.

Contrast your players to how our players performed in situations with tiny margins.

Haris, Amir and Imad Wasim capitulated.

Bumrah time and time again stepped up. Kohli played a knock knowing if it went wrong all blame would be on him, Arshdeep stepped up to be counted.

When you can continuously come out on top of these situations then it's not luck, it's superior skillset and mindset.
 
I was supporting South Africa in the final. But as a cricket fan, you can't help but love what India have done. Their side was far from perfect but they still kept winning because of the depth they had. Despite Kohli's lack of runs, Dube being Dube, Jadeja looking toothless, Rohit missing out on numerous occasions, they had a side with enough match-winners. And giving these two legends the perfect send-off, quite beautiful. A real fairytale ending for India and no one can say that they didn't deserve it.
 
Sometimes you gotta fall before you can fly. You can't underestimate the effect that the 2022 WC SF had on Rohit Sharma. After that match and that tournament, we saw a very different Rohit, who tried to go hard from the very outset and play with much more intent. India's conservatism cost them that match. They simply did not hit enough sixes. But coming out of that tournament Rohit took his game to another level in 2023 WC. And here, eventhough he had quite a few failures, the intent was never in question from him whether you look at the match against Australia or the SF against England.

This has been the case since about 2003. Instigated by Ganguly, then followed by MSD Kohli and Rohit.

Not reverse jinxing mate, I would count SL 90s, Pak late 80s and early 90s, Indian 2011 a better LOI team IMHO.

This Indian team has mental fortitude for sure, bur best ever???

I think all those teams were up against much more formidable opponents. Don't mean to take anything away from this Indian team, which can't be blamed for beating pretty much every team in the world to win the trophy. But that's just the truth. As far as Indian WC wins go, I wouldn't put this win above 1983, 2011 or 2007. If someone told me at the start of the tournament that India was going to win, I wouldn't have been that surprised because India were already one of the favorites going into this tournament.

Pakistan are not playing qualifiers. They have already qualified for the 2026 T20 WC based on their T20I ranking.
 
Congratulations to the Indian Team and Fans.

They are deserving Champions. Statistically, they were the best team in the tournament.

Commiserations to South Africa who also played their part in a competitive and enthralling final. Klassen's loose shot and then Bumrah's magical 18th over were the game's turning points for me.

Definitely better. Except India lacked batting depth. We had Mo Shami. Probably they could have played a spinner in place of Siraj on that pitch. That was suitable for spinner. In this match they should have played a seamer instead of spinner.

Sri Lanka won over India because of three crucial overs at death in 2014 WC. Aussies beat Pak twice from losing positions in two.semi finals. Carlos Brathwaite scored 4 sixers in the last over to beat England. West Indies defended a paltry score against the Lankans. India won over Pak because of a poor shot by Misbah. Almost every T20 tournament had shockers. Teams that were in good positions lost. In this format, things can change very quickly. An inspired leadership, a good over, a quick.wicket, a smashing over can all turn the game on its head.
 
A team that goes unbeaten throughout the tournament deserves the title. India delivered with the bat, ball and in the field. No silly comments by their players rather do it on the ground. You can't say the best team did not win the competition. Nuff respect ;)

Pakistani 99 WC was the best side in ODI World cups only behind the ATG Aussie Squads under Ponting. But in 99, Australia werent that great, they came this close to losing to a better SA side. Pakistan choked in the final that I thought they were going to win easily.

The only bad player in that side was Wajatullah Wasti imo. Bowling was stacked - Wasim Waqar Shoaib, Azhar Mehmood , Saqlain. Batting had Anwar, Inzi, Ijaz Ahmad, Abdul Razzaq

Yeah couldn't agree more. Australia's win in that WC really was something. They were on the verge of elimination at one point. And came back remarkably to win all their Super Sixes matches and beat two considerably better sides, just by being mentally tougher and smarter than South Africa and Pakistan.

And why not? If some people can blame him for the team's loss, they should praise him for the win. If he has a cause effect relation, then he very well deserves holding the cup.
 
Btw indian posters, you should had seen the thread i had drafted incase India would had lost.

it had everything, a long post, a reminder of all icc tournaments since 2013, Pakistan being mentioned twice. Oh man, it was the best creation ever. The amount of trolling that could had taken place, we all could had stayed up all night where we would had let you know and celebrated as being a current trophy holder while you defending and justifying everything :ROFLMAO: :p .

The thread had everything, the mirchi, the drama, the chances of 1 or 2 posters getting banned. It could had been a great riot.

Damn you South Africa, ruined a good trolling campaign.

I will return. Maybe in 2 years, maybe in 5 years.

You may have won the battle, but the war has just began
 
Glad that now that India has won, Pakistani fans, public, ex players are going to take out their frustration on the Pakistani players ten times more. The players are not going to get away with this no matter how much they try to influence things with their political, franchise connections and via Saya Corporation

Pakistan mentioned twice. Was it for Misbah bottling it in 2007 and 2011 against us.
 
To win India created one of cricket's most dramatic turnabouts or ressurections,after looking dead and buried.,I feel sorry for South Africa who were on the brink of making is game,set and match ,or having just to perform final rites.To me India's mental resilience and great pace bowling skill won the day.

For 15 overs by a slender margin India held the upper hand in the chase,but in the 16th and 17th over South Africa virtually had the game in the bag or sealed..The Proteas perfectly continued their legacy,but it was India who won over South Africa losing.

Still very happy for Kohli and Dravid wining their first world cup and for India winning 1st world cup since 2011.Congrats to South Africa for making first ever world cup final and coming within a whisker of capturing title.Let us prey that the tide of history now turns in favour of the Proteas,who were so cruelly robbed of titles in world cups,with the trail continuing yesterday.
 
Legends lead the way as tributes pour in for India’s T20 World Cup triumph

With this victory, India became just the third side to win the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup twice, England (2010, 2022) and West Indies (2012, 2016) being the only other teams to have achieved the feat.

It was a comeback for the ages, as India fought back after South Africa needed merely 30 runs at run a ball.

Tributes started to pour as soon as Hardik Pandya had delivered the final ball of the game, with cricket’s great legends leading the way.

Former India captain MS Dhoni, under whose leadership India won the inaugural T20 World Cup way back in 2007, congratulated Rohit Sharma’s side on clinching the game in the final moments.

Sachin Tendulkar congratulated among others, his former teammate, India’s outgoing head coach Rahul Dravid on this incredible feat. He also lauded India’s batting coach Vikram Rathour and bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, calling it an excellent feat under India’s “Class of ‘96”.

Other former cricketing greats also joined in, giving their tributes on this spectacular win. A special mention was kept for Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh, who delivered the game-changing last five overs in the final.

This was also the occasion when two India stars, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, announced their respective retirements from T20I cricket. The duo finish atop the T20I run-getters list, and have a number of records to their name.

This was Kohli’s third ICC trophy title after the Men’s Cricket World Cup (2011), and the Champions Trophy (2013), whereas this was the second T20 World Cup title for Rohit Sharma, after 2007. Rohit was also a part of the Indian side that won the Champions Trophy in 2013.

Prominent cricketing personalities gave tributes to the two players, calling it the perfect finish to their T20I careers.

Although 2007 world T20 win was magic i don't attach myself to world T20 win as much as ODI win. But this win was necessary to get our monkey off the back. From that angle i am thoroughly satisfied. Despite phenomenal consistency in ICC events for some reason India earned this bad reputation of faltering in the end. Now that they have wiped the slate clean we don't have to be under the pump in every ICC tournament. INdia was out and out favorites in many of the ICC events in the last 10 years. Yet somehow they conjured to fail. This reset has healed all those losses.

It's been about a day and on reflection this World Cup win has been everything you could wish for

- breaking the 10+ year jinx,
- under an Indian coach and support staff,
- while beating every single team we faced,
- including every big team - Pakistan, Afghanistan, Australia, England and South Africa
- ending in perfect send-offs to some of the greatest legends to ever play the game.

What more could you want? It's almost a fairy tale.

It was poetic. Tendulkar won the world cup in his 6th attempt. Kohli won world T20 in his 6th attempt. There are many weird coincidences which can sure be called as fairy tale.
 
Even when Klassen was going like a train, I still saw Ind winning. There is belief beyond anything in World Sport bar the Boks in rugby. Well done Ind, deserved and worthy winners

Someone posted at the end of 15th over, that the only team that can bottle from that position is South Africa.
Man, reading the comments from yesterday, is better than highlights reel. Was simply AFK during the whole match so couldn't share my near despair after Axar's over.

I had no faith in SA. The fact that Jansen couldn't keep out a straight one showed the Saffers totally froze. But Bumrah is freakishly good, and he produced when it mattered
