New Delhi: The Indian cricket team reached Delhi directly from Barbados. Before celebrating with the fans, Rohit Sharma’s team met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The players received an invitation from the PM residence. Narendra Modi became the PM of India in 2014. Since then, Team India has not won a single ICC trophy. In the final of the T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian team won the title for the second time by winning against South Africa by 7 runs.
What happened with PM Modi?
Team India’s meeting with PM Narendra Modi lasted for about an hour. He himself was sitting in the middle. Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid were next to him. The rest of the team was sitting in a circle. PM Modi talked to all the players. He asked Rohit Sharma about the taste of soil. After winning the final match of the T20 World Cup, Indian captain Rohit Sharma went to the Barbados pitch and ate soil.
Questions from Bumrah and Surya too
He asked Jasprit Bumrah what was going on in his mind during his last over? Bumrah bowled the 18th over of South Africa’s innings. Two runs were scored and one wicket was lost in this over. PM asked Surya what were you thinking during that game-turning catch? Suryakumar Yadav caught David Miller on the first ball of the last over of South Africa’s innings. With this catch, the victory of the Indian team was almost certain.
The final was breath-taking
The final match between India and South Africa was a nail-biting one. South Africa needed 30 runs in the last 30 balls of the match. It had 6 wickets left. From here, Team India made a comeback and won the title match. In response to India’s 176 runs, Aiden Markram’s team could only score 169 runs.
