WATCH | Ravi Shastri's BRAINFADE Moment in Commentary After Failing to Spot T20 WC Winning Moment Following Tilak Varma's Catch

T20 World Cup 2026: Ravi Shastri is one of the finest cricketing voices in the world. Time and again he has found himself in a spot where he has to call a moment or a match. Calling big moments always is something commentators strive for, but there is a lot of luck that is needed to be at the right place at the right time. During the T20 WC final 2026 at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad, Shastri was on-air when Tilak Varma took the final catch. Shastri had a brainfade moment when Varma took the catch as he said New Zealand have now lost their ninth wicket whereas it was the last wicket. He soon realised the goof up and then corrected himself quickly.

Following the win, Varma addressed India's fielding woes during their campaign.

"I would not say, whenever the team needed, the boys always stand up in the fielding. Especially when you see in the semi-final game against England, the way Axar took the catches and the way we have fielded. And today also, I would not say the best fielding (effort), but still we have taken some good catches," he said.

India Crush Kiwis

Meanwhile, India won the game in an emphatic fashion as they crushed New Zealand by 96 runs. With the win, India became the first team to win three T20 WC titles and also the first side to win it back-to-back. For India, it was a collective show and probably they played their best game during their campaign. But of course there were standout performers. Sanju Samson was the star of the show with the bat as he hit a brilliant 89 off 46 balls, while Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the Indian bowlers as he returned with figures of four for 15 in four overs.
