Barbados: Suryakumar Yadav won India the T20 World Cup 2024, not with the bat but the most crucial catch of the match in the final. The Sky's catch that won India the T20 World Cup will go down in folklore. 

At the final face-off with South Africa at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown of Barbados, India took 4 wickets in quick succession while defending 176 runs to lift the T20 World Cup for the second time. 

India beat South Africa by seven runs in a heart-stopping final to win the Twenty20 World Cup at the Kensington Oval. 

Electing to bat on a dry surface, 2007 champions India overcame a top-order meltdown to post a competitive 176-7.

Virat Kohli (76) struck his first 50 of this World Cup and Axar Patel smashed 47 to power India to a healthy total.

Anrich Nortje and Keshav Maharaj claimed two wickets apiece for South Africa.

The Proteas suffered a top order collapse of their own but Quinton de Kock (39) and Tristan Stubbs (31) put their chase back on track.

Heinrich Klaasen (52) then counter-attacked in spectacular fashion but India's impeccable death-overs bowling restricted South Africa to 169-8.
