India are back-to-back champions at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, but the real story of the tournament goes far beyond the final. In this episode of Yorkerpod, we break down the key stories that shaped India’s title run — from Sanju Samson’s remarkable comeback after the loss to South Africa to becoming Player of the Tournament, to Ishan Kishan proving himself after being thrown back into the T20 setup.

We also look at Abhishek Sharma’s crucial half-century in the final, Shivam Dube’s finishing contributions, Varun Chakravarthy’s important wickets, Jasprit Bumrah delivering in the biggest moments, and Axar Patel’s game-changing fielding throughout the tournament.

India’s World Cup campaign wasn’t perfect, but the team learned from setbacks, adapted, and ultimately came together to deliver a dominant championship performance.
