Champions end the wait

India clinched the T20 World Cup in a rollercoaster match against South Africa, with a dramatic 7-run win that ended years of heartbreak for the team.

It took 13 years of heartbreak, nine ICC white-ball tournaments, three finals and a South African choke of epic magnitude for India to finally claim the tag of world champions again.
