The winning moment in the final would remain etched in the minds of a lakh spectators at the Narendra Modi Stadium. India bundled New Zealand for 159 runs, the 96-run margin of victory fully capturing the dominance India wielded in the game. This was India finally establishing itself as the T20 powerhouse of the world. It has the richest league in the world, it is a wondrous hot house of talent, and cricket’s most powerful voice. It was a night India willed themselves to win.
