There are many reactions on social media regarding the team's victory. Many former cricketers have congratulated Team India. National Cricket Academy chief VVS Laxman wrote, 'Congratulations to Team India on becoming the T20 World Champion. The best and invincible team of the tournament. This is a great performance considering the circumstances with five overs remaining. Every player deserves congratulations.

Yuvraj Singh, who was the hero of the 2011 ODI World Cup win, wrote, 'Finally you did it. Hardik Pandya you are a hero. Jasprit Bumrah brought India back into the match in just one over. I am very happy for Rohit Sharma. Great captaincy under pressure, congratulations to Kohli, Dravid and the entire team. Surya took a brilliant catch.

God of cricket Sachin Tendulkar wrote - Chak De India. Every star in Team India's jersey inspires the children of our country to move closer to their dreams. India won its fourth World Cup, second in T20. Indian cricket has ceased to exist in the West Indies. From our poor performance in the 2007 ODI World Cup to becoming a cricket force in the same place and winning the T20 World Cup in 2024, what a turn in life. Very happy for my friend Rahul Dravid, who missed out on winning the 2011 World Cup, but his contribution in winning this T20 World Cup is huge. I am very happy for him. What can one say about Rohit? Great captain, leaving behind the 2023 ODI World Cup defeat and keeping all our players motivated for the T20 World Cup is commendable. Jasprit Bumrah also received the Player of the Tournament award. Virat Kohli became the Player of the Match. Both deserve the award. He made his international debut in 1996 along with Rahul, Paras Mhambrey and Vikram Rathod. It was amazing to see Team India perform excellently under the guidance of this class. Total team effort. Heartiest congratulations to all the players, coaches, support staff and everyone.


Also Sourav Ganguly wrote - Congratulations to Rohit Sharma and the team. What a great win. Bumrah's brilliant performance. Virat, Akshar, Hardik all played well. Congratulations to Rahul Dravid and support staff.
