"Today, I watched South Africa and India play against each other in the T20 World Cup cricket finals. The game kept me at the edge of my chair. India scored an impressive 176 runs in 20 overs..no mean feat…thanks to a brilliant performance from Virat Kohli. South Africa played very well and around the 15 the over, looked like they would be the world champions. It was a nail biter till the end, and India ultimately prevailed and won the World Cup," wrote Nooyi in her post.
