Everybody knew Kohli was gone either way. Lot of rumors he wouldn't even make the squad
As a neutral that was great to watch.
India deserved it on the whole tournament but they shouldn't have won that final.
How the feck was Kohli player fo the match?? Had to be Bumrah!!

Suspect Rohit will be doing the sameKohli retiring from T20 cricket for India. Damn.
Dravid's coaching stint has been a disaster. Barely backed any young players, just been a company man. Very disappointing.
Harsh, mate. Even if they'd lost today, that'd be two losses in two world cups.
One defeat in two world cups is an incredible record unless you're comparing them with 2000s Aussies.

The think the Dravid tenure overall can still be termed underperformance given the resources at the disposal.A win makes all the difference I guess.
Yes a poor one. Happy for him but expected more.The think the Dravid tenure overall can still be termed underperformance given the resources at the disposal.
I think I'm the only person in the thread actually thought India had a chance at the halfway mark. It was like the game thread when united play in here![]()

Lads, it's South Africa.
That testing over Bumrah bowled before the Pandya wicket probably just planted the seed in Klaasen's mind to play a rash shot.
That's why I said even if they lost that'd be two losses in two WCs. Yea, it sucks that these would've been two finals. But even with a loss today, "disaster"?Think that comment was made before the end of the match but it goes to show how the emotions go overboard depending on the context

Bumrah is easily best in the world,however Klaasen knew the required rate but chased a silly one
It's sad that he will be feeling so gutted after basically rescuing SA, but yeah, he got out playing a very poor shot to a wide ball. It seemed pretty obvious that India were going to hang it out there and he could have even taken an off stump guard.
My biggest gripe is lack of faith in young players. But I feel at the end he won us a t20 wc so credit where credit is due.A t20 world cup win, and very close to winning the ODI. In test cricket, won the toughest assignment in over a decade giving debuts to many new players. What more should he have done? I think our showing in the WTC was poor -- that, yes.
Both the ODI and T20 world cup performances were significantly above par for the team. They plugged holes tactically that elevated the team.
I guess Bumrah performance has probably shut some awful takes some had about him here post world cup final.
The best bowler we ever had.
4 economy in T20 World cup tournament with average of 8.
Yup, I thought he'd di the same and follow Kohli. Exciting times ahead.
For T20s:Really interesting times ahead for India. Interesting indeed.
Said it in the semi. Maybe one of the most under appreciated players in history. How he didn't win player of the game is beyond me. Completely changes the momentum of the game in one over and he does it constantly.Bumrah is India's greatest ever LOI player and in top3 of all formats.
Don't @ me.
