Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar and others congratulated Team India for winning the T20 World Cup 2024 after defeating South Africa by 7 runs on Saturday, June 29 at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown in Barbados. The legendary cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar expressed his happiness on X (previously Twitter) on the win, claiming that now the Indian Team got the fourth star, second in the T20 World Cup as well.
“Every star added to the Team India jersey inspires our nation’s starry-eyed children to move one step closer to their dreams. India gets the 4th star, our second in @T20WorldCup. Life comes full circle for Indian cricket in the West Indies. From our lows in the 2007 ODI World Cup to becoming a cricketing powerhouse and winning the T20WC in 2024. Very happy for my friend Rahul Dravid, who missed out on the 2011 World Cup win but his contribution to this T20 World Cup victory has been immense. I am so so happy for him,” Tendulkar posted on X.
“What can one say about @ImRo45? Superb captaincy! To put the 2023 ODI World Cup loss behind and to keep all our players motivated towards the T20 World Cup is commendable. @Jaspritbumrah93’s Player of the Tournament award as well as @imVkohli’s Player of the Match award are both well-deserved. They were just superb when it mattered. Along with Rahul, Paras Mhambrey and Vikram Rathour also made their international debuts in 1996. It was wonderful to see Team India excel under the guidance of this class of ’96. A total team effort. Hearty congratulations to all the players, coaches, support staff, and @BCCI,” he again added.

“Great composure and character shown by the team to win this from the situation we were in with 5 overs remaining. Every player deserves credit for giving it their all and rising to the occasion and wonderfully led by Rohit,” he said.
Former head coach Anil Kumble and India captain wrote, “Congratulations team India! Wonderful victory.” Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh also lauded all the players for winning the T20 World Cup.
