Cricket legends congratulate 'champions' team India for T20 World Cup glory

The cricket fraternity congratulated team India for securing the T20 World Cup after a long wait of over a decade on Sunday.

From Anil Kumble to VVS Laxman and Yuvraj Singh, all took to social media platform X and expressed their joy, calling Rohit Sharma & Co as 'champions'.

India clinched an unbelievable victory against South Africa. At a point when Axar Patel's expensive 15th over almost snatched the game from India's hands, the brilliance from India's pacers revived everyone's hopes. Moreover, Suryakumar Yadav's outstanding catch was the cherry on the top.
