India has claimed the T20 World Cup title for a record third time, achieving a resounding 96-run victory over New Zealand in the final match. The impressive triumph unfolded before a massive crowd at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium.
Batting first after losing the toss, India posted a formidable total of 255-5. Opener Sanju Samson was the star, smashing a brilliant 89 runs from just 46 deliveries, including eight sixes. Other significant contributions came from Abhishek Sharma, who scored 52 off 21 balls, and Shivam Dube, who remained unbeaten on 26 from eight balls.

Tim Seifert managed a half-century with 52 runs off 26 balls, but it wasn't enough to challenge India's dominant performance. This victory adds to India's previous T20 World Cup wins in 2007 and 2024.
