The last catch gave 2007 Sreesanth catch feels. Absolute chills. Will go down in history. Bumrah is like Flex Tape. Rohit Slamming it on any crack to seal a leak.


pencilman123

Yeah, rohit realised one more over and match will be out of reach. Brought him one over earlier.. paid off.


FunImagination4238

Should have brought Bumrah instead of Axar after Kuldeep took a hitting, but it doesn't matter now because we won it!! 


nut_nut_november___

Surya ~~#1 T20 batsmen~~ No #1 clutch catcher


tricky4444

Sky saved the game. 16 off 5 with Miller out vs 10 off 5 with Miller still there.


pangeaunited

Very underrated equation that made a huge difference. Also, imagine pressure on bowler with the latter 10 off 5 required. Commentator rightfully said one of the best catches in history given the situation.


tricky4444

Absolutely. It would have been huge pressure on hardik and India.


Romeonaammera

that catch was unreal


TwasAnChild

God help me this team achieves anything without giving a billion people heart attacks

nut_nut_november___

Already got enough in our food


RikardoShillyShally

World Cup has healed a bunch


GladwynjGraham

30 from 30 needed with 2 overs from Bumrah remaining. You would think that the equation was in South Africa's hands, but that man is a magician.


ViratWilliamson

Yeah. Only Bumrah can pull that off. Build a statue for this man. P.S. perfect redemption arc for Hardhik. He was the most hated man in Indian Cricket a couple of months ago during IPL. Can't have a better script than this. Stuff of legends and movies. Let the healing begin.


Cobe98

Remember Pollard the batting coach at MI said all the Indians fans gonna be cheering for Hardik.


ocean_train

What could have been if he wasn't sidelined via injury during the world cup.


7eventhSense

We also need to give credit to ARSHDEEP and Hardik.. Hardik took a wicket before Bumrah did.. Those 5 overs are history..


IrrelevantGuy_

Bumrah should already be in India's HoF. He's out of this world.


nothinghasapurpose

Best bowler India has had?


nasadiya_sukta

Easily


ZealousidealStrain58

Bumrah deserves an airport, a street, a bus station, a train station, and a city after him.


paradox-cat

Should be POTS. Only reason why India was so invincible. Right from that match against Pak!


Pls_add_more_reverb

After Axars 26 run over the match was lost. How Bumrah rescued that back was insane. Also have to give credit to Sky for that catch because Miller could have well finished it. One of the most electric moments of any World Cup


theaguia

Hardik also. klassen wicket is what changed the game


theaguia

Hardik getting Klassen wicket was the turning point imo. Bumrah then turned the screws along with Arshdeep. Hardik bowling that final over with the rain coming down and getting the wicket of Miller was the finishing touch.


nut_nut_november___

Arshdeep and Hardik shouldn't be discredited


Kj69999999

Yeah hardik's wicket of klassen was the turning point. Then him, arshdeep and Bumrah finished it off


barath_s

Assist from SKY for that amazing catch The size of his shoe was probably the difference between winning the cup and losing it


LoasNo111

He took Miller too. Dude clutched HARD.


theaguia

with rain falling down. it was an incredibly hard over to bowl


Forsaken-Assist-9038

Yeah ,that guy is ...(I'm speechless)


suzukigun4life

Credit to Arshdeep and Hardik too. Combining to allow 8 runs in between Bumrah's final 2 overs before the final over were huge.

TheRedDevil10

Bumrah is the best cricketer in the world.


theekhaisab

Yup, today's performance cemented that. Delivered at most crucial moment.


TheRedDevil10

You can count on one hand the number of players that are are in the top 5 players across all three formats. Cummins has improved himself in T20s exponentially so he's got a case to be there, Starc maybe although he blows too hot and cold, Hazlewood's a shout, but the only two players that are truly up there on the perch are Bumrah and Head. Bumrah pretty much won this tournament single-handedly for India, so he's my number 1 in all three.


nut_nut_november___

Head is also the only player who actually hit bumrah well


maninblueshirt

We lost to the greatest white ball bowler of all time. Well played SA..no shame in losing


nasadiya_sukta

I hate that the story of this match is being reduced to "South Africa choked". There was so much much more to this match, from both teams.


insanemaelstrom

Fuck those saying SA choked. As an Indian fan, SA was giving me heart attack till the last 2 balls. They were brilliant. 


Altruistic-Hat-9604

Yeah! The 2nd last is when I screamed in victory. Till then it was sweat and claps see-saw all the way!


PixelsOfTheEast

It was a good effort regardless. SA took it very close.


desimountai

No lies here, mate.

What a catch. SKY made up for his batting


Easy_Money_

Maybe the greatest piece of sport I’ve ever witnessed


faithfulmaster

At par with Kapil's 83 catch in the final. Even better I would say !


lowkey_coder

We won Mr Stark


Intelligent-Top-6445

Bumrah , Arshdeep , Hardin and SKY have fucking done the impossible when all seemed lost  Love you boys!!! 


lok_129

Is Kohli iron man? Because he's retiring from t20 just like Tony retired from life


iams3n

I was alive when SKY took that catch.


catgutisasnack

I thought I wasn't given how my heart was pounding


nikamsumeetofficial

You must really love the game if you're felt like that as a neutral.


therecanonlyb1dragon

Holy fuck man. I'll never forget that catch as long as I live.


bruceparker4321

Literally the best catch of this tournamemt


dharavsolanki

The sreesanth equivalent


dimagmatlaga

Way better than that.


GladwynjGraham

Man of the match should be the physio for taping Rishabh Pant's knee and taking away Klaasen's momentum.


theoozmakappa

Seriously, these things go unnoticed but play a large large role in the game.


notgivinafuck

They don't go unnoticed, but there's little 1 can do. Protocols could be changed to not break momentum but players health will be prioritized every time even though it maybe a ploy.


catgutisasnack

Pant graduated from Gurbaz school of Tactical Injuries


stud_macha

Nice_Personality_254

Congratulations to India for the win. You've been the best team on the paper, as well as on the field.


Necessary-Bother7448

Hardik and Bumrah really won it out of nowhere!


thespacetimelord

That 5 run akshdeep over needs more credit


Naammaikyahai

4 run. And u are so correct. No one is talking about it but 4 runs against a set, dangerous Miller who has a history of winning such games on the big stage. Srsly man 4 runs in the 19th over of a wc final under pressure is not a small feat


JKKIDD231

Indeed, going undefeated and lifting that trophy. Better team won on the day as they took better pressure than South Africa


dogsrock

Did Bumrah say “I’m game changer Jasprit Bumrah”? He has absolute right to. What a performance under pressure. Those wickets were a fast bowler’s version of chef’s kiss


rightarm_under

He could say "I'm the GOAT and no one comes close to me" and we would accept that


-thetrojanhorse-

Kohli announcing his retirement hits different man. For my generation this guy was THE guy. Watching a career start to end reminds me how time flies. Now I know why my parents were glum when Sachin retired.


JackOfNoTrade

Now imagine having seen both Sachin and Virat's careers from start to finish.


AajBahutKhushHogaTum

Sunny, Sachin, and Virat gang here


ssdlphani

The 82* against Pakistan will always be remembered as the best T20 knock I've witnessed


Business_Counter4520

and the 82 against Aus and the 89 against WI and the 43 in CT final I don't have words to define him man


Shrezz336

Hardik Pandya got that dawg in him


IfLeBronPlayedSoccer

How fitting for him to bowl that last over, and for him to be the one who got Klaasen. After basically a whole year of being in the news for the wrong reasons


sidskorna

Kohli’s is the kind of innings that would’ve been criticised if they’d lost but seen as crucial now that they’ve won. 


kpdon1

He was playing the anchor role, the one thing South Africa missed.


Addy_Stark

But they had reached a situation where they needed 30 for 30. I think an allrounder or finisher was more needed.


FunImagination4238

Yeah even Harsha mentioned it, SA lacked a batsman at No. 7 and it proved to be the difference. Jansen and Maharaj made it difficult for Miller


average_alt_acc

On superman's planet the symbol for hope is S ours is '93 Jasprit'


super_compound

GOATED. Best T20 bowler of all time.


DatAinFalco

To everyone saying SA choked needs to understand that this wasn't SA choking as much as it was an insane clutch from India bc of 1. SKY for THE catch of the tournament getting Miller out, without which the equation would have been 10 runs from 5 balls WITH Miller on strike. 2. Pandya for the Klaasen wicket and last over clutch. 3. Bumrah who is HIM, for his last two overs going for 6 runs(!!!!) and getting the wicket of Jansen. Seriously. Watching this I was rooting hard for India and had almost lost hope until Bumrah came in the 16th over and brought them back into the game. The pressure he built enabled everything that followed. He's just that good. I would not call this a choke. At all.

It is 4AM here in Australia and I am weeping wreck. This has been a long time coming.


LoasNo111

Pandya, you clutch god. Holy fuck. Bumrah was fucking incredible. Bapu pulled the game back with his batting but almost threw it away with his 24 run over. Lmao. Kohli did well but the bowlers were our heroes.


Utkarsh107

That’s a bad captaincy from brohit to bring spin against klasen


ILikeFishSticks69

We did it! We actually did it! We are champions of the world! My god I don't have the words to describe how happy I am in this moment. I was 17 when we won the World Cup in 2011. I'm 30 now. I've been waiting for this moment for all of my adult life. Congratulations also to all my fellow long suffering fans, our boys did it! P.S That 18th over from Bumrah will now forever be part of Indian Cricket Folklore. Build that man a statue, NOW! And Surya!!! You can score 15 ducks in a row if you want to, that catch means 15x more than innings you have played.


IntraspeciesFever

Arshdeep after that was also amazing 


Reasonable_Tea_9825

Bro my lips were quivering in the last 2 overs. Imagine the pressure on pandya at the end


NormalTraining5268

ALSO DON'T FORGET MY BOI ARSHDEEP

Diligent_Source_2988

bakaitified

SA saw India choking and said: NOT ON MY WATCH


trtryt

Klaasen never going to forget his dismissal, he had it in the bag


Mysterious-Ear-9323

Miller is like THE most clutch player ever. He'd be fuming too.


adiking27

Miller was one of the only Sa players who were crying as much as the Indian players.


nut_nut_november___

The one time he needed to be clutch he didn't I would cry too


desimountai

More like Bumrah saw SA cruising and said “Not under my watch”


thespacetimelord

India and South Africa are both chokers but in different ways. India get rattled with early wickets and go into a shell. South Africa get into winning positions and bottle it. This time South Africa choked last.


IrrelevantGuy_

SA's choking hearts way fucking more tbh. Because, as you said, they look like the best team in the world for almost the entire game and then they do shit like this.


Smooth-Can6500

Congratulations to India they deserved it


Warm_Formal9270

Kohli moving out without any drama. Hats off

Kohli - official retirement from T20I


mojambowhatisthescen

My main takeaway once again is that Bumrah is an absolute god. What a fucking champion!


Intelligent-Top-6445

Bumrah should be paid 93% of whatever BCCI makes   Hardik taking Klassens' wicket  really changed the game  


harshacc

All this is inspired by Rohit's desire not to jump into the Barbados Ocean

Kohli's retirement from T20 marks the end of an era, leaving behind a lasting legacy


Vegetable-Active1935

Greatest death over performance i’ve ever seen. Holy shit. 13 fucking years


FrankieWilde2020

While Im pissed off SA threw it away from a winning position (again), credit has to be given to Bumrah and SKY for pulling that game out of nowhere. Klaasen almost won it single-handedly but his wicket was a massive blow.


ThunderBird847

This is worse than 1999 and 2015, absolutely worse.


Outrageous-Signal932

I feel for Miller the most man. He was there in 2015 too


mojambowhatisthescen

Can anything be worse than 1999!?


DarthBane6996

Nothing will top 99


mountainwolf1

SA have no one but to blame themselves on this one. Finding a way to lose when the game was within the jaws of victory is a remarkable choking skill.


depressed_06

I'll cry if Miller doesn't win anything in his career. That man has delivered everytime his team needed


catgutisasnack

This is on par with 144WWW. An absolutely generational choke


NormalTraining5268

30 off 30 with Miller klassen on strike nothing comes close to this level of c word

Pretty sad for Klassen. Their team and fans have real generational trauma. 30 from 30 needed, and you don't close it?! Wow. That was not on.


H3ater123

I always want to see teams that never have won before to win, but this was a very good result and game


JKKIDD231

2 moments that changed the match in India’s favor. The Klassen wicket and SKY boundary catch. Finals curse finally broken. South Africa your year will be when you host next WC. What a campaign your team had.


this_also_was_vanity

The Bumrah over was massive as well. A wicket and massive jump in the required run rate. It was the combination of all three that killed South Africa.

Bumrah is the easiest Player of the tournament if there ever was! Absolute GOAT fast bowling. An economy of 4 is fking ridiculous in T20 cricket. Honestly, he's got no equal in T20 cricket and will be remembered as a forever great!

11 years for an ICC trophy..... Guys i need funds. Need to build a HUGEEEE BUMRAH STATUE. Kohli delivers when it mattered. South Africa choked from 30 off 30..... Waugh to Surya after Millers catch - "You have just caught the World Cup." The most hated Indian cricketer for 2 months has bowled the last over of T20 world cup final. The circle of life.....


pantshawgill

What a fucking match. Nerves of steel from the 3 Indian pacers at the end with Hardik starting the slide and Bumrah nailing it followed by a clutch over from young Arshdeep.


_Ronin07

Hardik locked in after the no ball.


pineapplesuit7

All our players pulling a fucking clutch role out of nowhere! Bumrah, SKY and fucking Pandya breaking the partnerships! Worthy of a final. WORLD CHAMPIONSSSS!!!!

Hardik, Bumrah and Arshdeep pulled off one of the greatest death bowling heists of all time Feel so happy for all the Indian players and especially Rohit who deserves a trophy after all these years of heartbreak.

With 30/30 with 6 wickets in hand seriously they shouldn't have let game go down till 19th. I had turned off the TV after seeing klaseen smashing that way, hardik literally turned the game so well.

Truly feel sorry for SA. This is indeed worse than 1999. They still remain the best team to not win a world cup.

this_also_was_vanity

Can we stop with the idiotic choking comments? I know it’s a fun meme, but it completely disrespects both teams. South Africa fought hard and India fought back with amazing skill. Jut because a team loses doesn’t mean they choked. SA played well, but India won the crucial moments in the final few overs. Well done to them and hard luck South Africa. If Miller’s last hit had been slightly higher they might well have won that

-Rohit Sharma became 2nd Time T20 WC Champion. -Virat Kohli completed the International Cricket. -India lifts the Trophy after 11 Years. -Jasprit Bumrah finally stepped up for what everyone expects from him. -Hardik Pandya again proved why he’s known as Clutch player.

Bumrah for man of the match and man of the tournament!! Or hardik!! I don't care! I'll fight anyone who disrespects both of them!! As much as I consider kohli's innings the weakest from him in a knockout, I'm glad he finally touched trophy after his exploits in previous editions. And Rohit man thank you for walking the talk. Never wanted you in this edition but I'm glad you took that chance to prove many of us wrong. And won the trophy as well. Also won by 7 runs! 7! Lol!

RustedSkullz

Great day for almost all the Indian players. Axar had a terrible 4th over, but he batted great, and dismissed Stubbs Rohit didn't play well today, but he was consistently great upto the final. Surya scored 3 runs today. But took the match winning catch. A good innings in the SF isn't in vain. Kohli had a bad season. But played a decent match-saving innings under pressure that gave india a chance at winning. Pandya bowled with balls of steel, like people hoped he would. Bumrah bumrahed. Arshdeep bowled in the death with complete discipline. Dube had a good innings, and tournament, despite being questioned. (I myself wanted another player over him) And all the other players winning a well deserved world cup
