India’s excruciating 11-year wait for a world championship came to an end on Saturday when the star-studded squad defeated South Africa, the everlasting bridesmaids, by seven runs in a see-saw final. Virat Kohli’s creativity and Rohit Sharma’s inspiring captaincy sealed the deal. At Kensington Oval in Barbados, skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first, and India scored 176 for 7 in 20 overs. South Africa was limited to 169/8 in response.
