New Delhi, July 1: Team India’s batting legend Virat Kohli expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi after receiving a congratulatory call from the PM following the team’s T20 World Cup victory on Saturday. The side secured a dramatic win in the final of the tournament against South Africa, defeating the Proteas by seven runs in Barbados.
Kohli was one of the star performers in the final, scoring a brilliant 76 after India faced a top-order collapse in the Powerplay. His innings ensured India reached a fighting score of 176/7 before a herculean effort from the Indian seamers helped India to a narrow win, thus ending the country’s 11-year wait for an ICC title.
Taking to his official X account, Kohli thanked PM Modi for his “kind words and support.”
“Dear @narendramodi sir, thank you so much for your very kind words and your support and encouragement always. It has been a privilege to be a part of this that has brought the cup home. We are deeply touched & overwhelmed with the happiness it has bought the entire nation,” wrote Kohli.
