# India's Epic T20 World Cup Triumph: Celebrities Erupt in Joy! **Imagine the roar of a billion hearts beating as one** – that's the magic of India's nail-biting 7-run victory over South Africa in the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup final, ending an 11-year ICC trophy drought![1][2] India scripted history in Barbados, posting 176/7 with **Virat Kohli's masterful 76 off 59 balls** earning him Player of the Match honors. South Africa fell short at 169/8, thanks to clutch bowling from **Jasprit Bumrah (Player of the Tournament)**, Hardik Pandya (3/20), and a stunning catch by Suryakumar Yadav to dismiss David Miller in the final over.[1][2][3] This undefeated campaign marked India's second T20 title (after 2007), making them the first Asian team to win twice and equalling England and West Indies with two triumphs.[1][4] The win sparked a celebrity frenzy! **PM Narendra Modi**, **Akshay Kumar**, **Ajay Devgn**, **Mahesh Babu**, and **Sachin Tendulkar** led the tributes, flooding social media with pride. Rohit Sharma became the first Indian to win the T20 World Cup twice as captain, while Kohli, Sharma, and Jadeja bid adieu to T20Is in emotional farewells.[1]
