The Invincibles

The way in which India won the final was emphatic to say the least. The Men in Blue completely destroyed their opponents. India won the match in Ahmedabad by 96 runs. In fact, some reckon India peaked in the final and played their best cricket. Sanju Samson was the star for India with the bat as he hit a belligerent 89 off 46 balls, while Jasprit Bumrah was the best bowler with four wickets to his name. While Samson was awarded the player of the tournament, Bumrah bagged the player of the match.
