The Sanju Storm at Ahmedabad 🫡

Fireworks erupted from Chetta- Sanju Samson’s bat as he struck his third back-to-back half-ton in style. Smashing the ball in an elegant fashion, he ensured momentum stayed with the men in blue right from the beginning. He impressed yet again with 89 in just 46 balls, smashing 8 sixes in the process, winning the ICC Player of the Tournament.  

Abhishek dominates, stitches pivotal partnership with Samson

Abhishek Sharma repays the faith shown in him, striking the ball in an aggressive manner. He pierced the gaps well, keeping the score, board ticking with runs and was rewarded with a quick fire 52 in 21 balls, SR-247.62. The ‘S Factor’- Sharma and Samson stitched a 43 ball 98 runs opening stand.🥶

Ishan Kishan show, Dube’s daring cameo

Pocket dynamo, Ishan settled into playing his shots immediately with crisp precision. He pelted a fiery 54 in 25 balls. Later, he also took 2 stunning catches of Rachin and Seifert.

Shivam Dube ensured India finished with 255/5 in 20 overs all thanks to his crucial 26* in just 8 deliveries, SR-325. A masterclass from the big man in the last over- 4,6,6,4,0,4 = 24 runs. 👏

Axar strikes big

Brought into the attack early, Bapu bowled a magical delivery to dismiss Finn Allen and then picked the wicket of Phillips inside the powerplay. Daryl Mitchell hit a full toss straight to deep mid-wicket, Axar picked his 3rd (3/27). 💪

Boom Boom magic continues

POTM- Mighty Bumrah ne Ahmedabad to kar diya khush…first ball of his over, slower one and Rachin Ravindra was dismissed. Yet again, he foxed Neesham and bowled him. The very next ball (15.4), Matt Henry too was cleaned up. Domination at its best, time and time again Boom delivers, snapping the wicket of Santner. Match defining spell on the big stage- (4/15), Eco-3.8. 

And in the end, off a whopping 96-run margin, India finished things off in style, BRINGING HOME ANOTHER TIITLE..
