India (176/7) crowned champions of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 after a 7 runs victory against South Africa (169/8)

[Devadwal]

Kohli bhai mar le ab

 

[FearlessRoar]

India will win, saffers hardly can chase anything above 120

 

[Aman]

All time hall of shame 50.

 

[rhony]

While Kohli is struggling - not as bad as Yuvi though. Most Indians probably begged and prayed for Kohli to play the kind of innings he played at least till the 12th over mark. It is critical how Kohli ends here - he absolutely has to ramp up.

Spot on. He played very well. But he needs to go big here

 

[oatmeal]

Both arent able to find the boundaries.

 

[Devadwal]

Not a great innings

 

[sweep_shot]

Nortje has been superb.

2.4-0-12-0.

 

[Aman]

50 off 48.

Could be match losing.

 

[gani999]

50 in 48 balls for Kohli. Excellent ODI innings.

 

[JaDed]

Needed that last ball four

 

[Croma]

I bet Kohli is playing this innings to prove Babar style of batting is perfect.

 

[rhony]

Excellent 50 from Kohli. Because of him, India can get to.par. need a quick.20 from him in 7 to 8 balls

 

[Mas-LFC]

Yo Kohli is a doing a Yuvraj Singh 2014 final. Remember!

Slowed too down last 3-4 overs

 

[sweep_shot]

Dube has been good today.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Good lad Shivam

 

[Nado_]

Kohli not playing his advanced the bowler shots . Conventional shots against this attack ain’t going to work . As long as Pandya not in the crease I think SAf will be happy

 

[Aman]

Excellent 50 from Kohli. Because of him, India can get to.par. need a quick.20 from him in 7 to 8 balls

Clueless.

 

[shariqnoor]

Dube and Axar have saved India here. The much fancied players choked.

 

[rhony]

With Pandya, Jadeja in the hut and these two in middle, 40 in the last 3 is ON. Go.for.it

 

[globetrotter]

Need 36 in 18 balls

 

[Human786]

140/4

 

[Kianig89]

Runs on the board in a WC final.are always handy

 

[oatmeal]

666666666666666666 by Kohli

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

6 by VK .... yeaassss

 

[Croma]

666666666666666666666

KOhli has begun

 

[JaDed]

Finally a six

 

[Mas-LFC]

3 overs left Jadeja and Pandya to come. Gotta go now! Should’ve went hard 15th

 

[Nado_]

Still only 8 off the over . If I was an India supporter I would like 10 plus from now on

 

[BaaliSoda]

While Kohli is struggling - not as bad as Yuvi though. Most Indians probably begged and prayed for Kohli to play the kind of innings he played at least till the 12th over mark. It is critical how Kohli ends here - he absolutely has to ramp up.

Could not have put it better (about Kohli getting a score).

Yuvi's was a horror show and he single-handedly halted the momentum from getting a good score in that final.

He was quite atrocious (post-2011 wc) for the last few seasons before that finals.

 

[globetrotter]

Six by kohli … 30 in 17 balls

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Kohli.

 

[followed]

India should stop batting now.
It's already more than enough for them.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

i have not seen pitch behaving badly. this could be exciting contest

 

[rhony]

That's my boy Kohli!! Need a quick 15 more in the next 6 to 7 balls

 

[NeVerMind]

666666666666666666666

KOhli has begun

And therein lies the difference between Kohli and Babar...the former can actually go big when required...

 

[BaaliSoda]

My initial target of 140 was reached, and now to the next target of 160+.

 

[Nado_]

Rabada not learning , do not bowl full

 

[just a fan]

Should aim 180 here

 

[Human786]

Rabbu ki pitai ho rahi hai 136/4

 

[Mas-LFC]

Nice 6 by Kohli. Amount time!

 

[oatmeal]

444444444444444444

 

[Croma]

44444444444444444

Kohli has begun!

 

[mominsaigol]

Kohli attacking now but is it too late?

 

[chinaman00]

Kohli is gonna do this once it’s past over 17.

Called it!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Go flammmingggg....virat....yeaas

 

[sweep_shot]

I think India are on track for a good score. Very good score.

170+ should be tough for SA.

 

[globetrotter]

India need 24 in 15 balls to reach 170

 

[Aman]

Finally some intent.

Pitch actually looks good.

 

[rhony]

That's a champion batsman!! Now another 10 needed from Kohli in 5 balls

 

[Dhakar Pola]

India already has too many runs. Don't see South Africa having any answers for Bhumra and Kuldeep

This..it'll hard to play bumrah and kuldeep

 

[BaaliSoda]

Very good comeback by our batsmen, so far.

Get us as many as you can, Virat and Dube!

 

[Mas-LFC]

Rabada bowling terrible stuffs

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Abki baar, 150 paar

 

[KingKhanWC]

Poor from SA , India have been targeting the first ball , but not spotted .

Kohli fighting hard , can take them past 175?

 

[Justcrazy]

India in complete control , do not see SA chase this against three good spinners

 

[rhony]

Dube should have gone for it. It was a gimme 6 or 4 ball

 

[Dhakar Pola]

SA get the set Kohli out now they can keep them under 155

Indian fans comment feels like our comments lol. If I had Kohli in my team still batting I would just enjoy the show. Kohli is showing why he is a champion player

 

[Human786]

150/4 - 2 to go

 

[Croma]

150 in 18 overs.

 

[globetrotter]

Need 20 in 12 balls

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

And therein lies the difference between Kohli and Babar...the former can actually go big when required...

thats because he has stable base at crease and fitness to do it

 

[Croma]

Can India reach 170

 

[PakFan2010]

If you offered South Africa this position at the start of the innings, they would have snapped your arm off.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

C'mon ....2 monster overs ..

 

[Justcrazy]

Kohli has played a match winning innings here

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 150/4 (18 overs).

They should reach 175-180.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Happy with the way our batters treated Rabada.

Now get at least 20 more runs in the remaining overs, please

 

[rhony]

150 in 18. Above par for aindia at this stage. Great recovery. They should aim.for 25 in thr last 2. That will be 15 above par

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

No balllll......yeaaa

 

[Croma]

No baaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllll

W T F

 

[Aman]

Either SA choke under the pressure of a final or they chase this down like Eng 2022.

 

[globetrotter]

Big no ball

 

[shariqnoor]

India has enough here. Should be game over. SA would've no clue against 3 spinners.

 

[FearlessRoar]

India has cemented their victory, South Africa can't chase it

 

[NeVerMind]

thats because he has stable base at crease and fitness to do it

That's true but it is mostly mental strength...Babar, on the other hand, never looks comfortable going big after getting his 50 and looks knackered and can't even put away full tosses!

 

[Justcrazy]

Also , another issue with SA is that there tail is very long .

 

[oatmeal]

Huge no ball

 

[KingKhanWC]

Jansen is going the distance likely here

 

[rhony]

Free hit!!!

 

[gani999]

Jansen for the 19th over? Markram, what's wrong with you man?
