"India have made history by becoming the first team to win the T20 World Cup at home, defeating New Zealand by x runs in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Suryakumar Yadav's team buried the ghosts of the past and raced to a record-breaking third T20 World Cup title in front of a sell-out crowd at the world's largest cricket stadium on Sunday."
"There was no such pain for the home supporters this time as the defending champions reaped the rewards of Sanju Samson's prolific three-match run and Abhishek Sharma's return to form to post 255-5 in 20 overs. But it was their ever-reliable star pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah who snuffed out any New Zealand hopes of a record run chase with astounding T20 bowling figures of 4-15 in his four overs."
"India posted the third-highest total in a T20 World Cup match when Samson scored 89 off 46 balls, Abhishek 52 off 21 and Ishan Kishan 54 off 25. New Zealand's run chase was stunted by the loss of three wickets in the first powerplay, leaving them 47-3 in six overs."

Jasprit Bumrah delivered exceptional bowling figures of 4-15, while Axar Patel took 3-27 as New Zealand were bowled out for 159. This victory marked India's third T20 World Cup title and successful defense of the trophy, exorcising the pain of losing the 50-over World Cup final at the same venue two years earlier.
