India's T20 World Cup Victory: Reflections And Reliving Glory With PM Modi

The journey of Rishabh Pant, from the hospital bed to the cricket ground, received appreciation from Modi.

After winning the final, Sharma was seen eating the soil of the pitch. When Modi asked him about it, the batter, who has stepped down from the T-20 international format, said he'd always cherish the moment and the ground on which they won the title.

Modi then asked Virat Kohli about the tough time he faced before the final. Jasprit Bumrah, who was announced as the player of the tournament, was another player the PM was seen having a conversation with. Modi lauded his determination. Bumrah said he loves to help the team under crucial situations, and the joy he derives in doing so.

Hardik Pandya spoke about his roller-coaster journey over the past six months—from the boos he faced during the Indian Premier League matches to World Cup glory. Suryakumar Yadav spoke about the acrobatic catch he took at the boundary during a crucial juncture that swung the game in India's favour, and the months of practice that goes behind it.

PM Modi also interacted with Axar Patel, who played a pivotal role in the finals. He asked him about his experience of being promoted up in the batting order during the time when there was a fall of early wickets.
