India created history by winning the ICC Men's T20 World Cup for the second consecutive time, defeating New Zealand national cricket team in a dominant final.

Contributions also came from Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, and Jasprit Bumrah. Meanwhile, Shivam Dube smashed a quick 26 off just 8 balls to boost the total. Chasing the massive target, New Zealand struggled early, losing key wickets in the powerplay.
