India secured their historic third men's T20 World Cup crown with a dominant 96-run victory over New Zealand in a one-sided final on Sunday, earning $2.34mn for the tournament win. The Board congratulates the players, support staff and selectors once again on this historic achievement and wishes them continued success in the future.
Sunday was a long day for the India captain, Harmanpreet Kaur. It began with a two-hour rain delay; it concluded with a catch at cover, taken on the stroke of midnight, which sealed a 52-run victory against South Africa and a maiden World Cup title. But amid the fireworks, tears, hugs, a lap of honour at the DY Patil Stadium, and rumours of a forthcoming winners' parade in Mumbai, Kaur found time to deliver an important message to the media.
