India ended their 13-year wait for a world title by fighting back to beat South Africa in a thrilling 7-runs win in the T20 World Cup final.

It is India's second T20 title, having won the inaugural tournament in 2007, and the first World Cup win in either format since the 2011 50-over competition.

For South Africa, it was a horrible defeat that brought back all of the pain of World Cups past.

Player of the match, India batter Virat Kohli says he is so proud to get the runs for the team on the day it mattered most. We have wanted to lift a trophy for a long time.

India captain Rohit Sharma says he is proud of all of the boys and the management for giving them liberty and trusting in each one of them.
