Then Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant were dismissed early in the next over, bowled by Keshav Maharaj. Soon Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada in the fourth over, leaving India at 34 runs for 3 wickets.

This was India's first win in a major ICC event in 11 years, with their previous win being the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. [49] [50] India also became the first team in T20 World Cup history to win the title undefeated throughout the tournament. [51] Rohit Sharma became the second Indian captain to win the T20 World Cup after MS Dhoni (2007). [52] India became the first Asian country to win two ICC Men's T20 World Cups (2007 and 2024) and the third ICC full member to do so after West Indies and England. [53]
India received $2.45 million and South Africa secured $1.28 million in prize money from the ICC. [54] Following India's victory, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja announced their retirement from the Twenty20 International format. [55] Rahul Dravid's tenure as India's head coach came to an end after this tournament. [56]
The match was hailed as one of the closest fought finals in T20 World Cup history as the match swung in favour of both teams, culminating in South Africa needing to score 16 runs off the last 6 balls. [57] Ravi Shastri who was on air summed up the emotions running high among the fans with his commentary: "It's up in the air and its India who win the T20 World Cup after 17 years. The drought is over. An ICC tournament win after 2013". [58]
Suryakumar Yadav's presence of mind and athleticism were lauded when he took a difficult catch by running a long way across near the boundary, with his left foot close to the boundary cushion. Action replays suggested that it was a fair and clean catch, as confirmed by the video umpire. [59] Subsequently, some fans on social media made unverified speculation that his shoe might have flicked the boundary cushion, [60] before a new video showing the catch from a different angle dispelled the doubts and confirmed the catch's validity. [61] [62] The catch was also widely likened to that of former Indian captain Kapil Dev in the final of the 1983 Cricket World Cup, where Dev took an important running catch to dismiss West Indies' hard-hitting batsman Vivian Richards. [63] [64]
South Africa faced criticism for choking in the closing phase of the match, as they were favoured to chase down the total comfortably at one stage. [65] [66] After the dismissal of Klaasen, South Africa's lower-order batters, mostly comprising genuine frontline bowlers, failed to cope with the tight bowling strategies of India and could not support David Miller at the other end, causing debates over South Africa's vulnerable low-order batting. [67] [68] South Africa captain Aiden Markram admitted that the defeat was a tough pill to swallow and described it as a "gut-wrenching and bittersweet ending to a great campaign", but heaped praise on his teammates who had helped the team reach the final as one of only two unbeaten sides of the tournament. [69] [70] [71]
Indian President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated team India on winning the tournament. [72] [73] The South African Government appreciated the South Africa team's efforts in a post on Twitter. [74]

[75] [76] [77] Indian supporters in New York City, London, Barbados and various other overseas locations also celebrated the win by hoisting Indian flags and setting off firecrackers. [78] Later, BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced a cash reward of ₹125 crore (US$15 million) for Team India for the win. [79] The Indian team's departure from Barbados was delayed by over two days due to Hurricane Beryl, which caused a shutdown of air traffic from the island. [80]
On 4 July 2024, the Indian team was greeted with a warm welcome by the fans as they landed in Delhi. [81] The players and support staff met with the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence in 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, New Delhi. [82] [83] They then flew to Mumbai, taking a 2-kilometre open bus ride from Nariman Point to the Wankhede Stadium, for which an estimated 300,000 fans gathered at the Marine Drive. [84] [85] At the Wankhede Stadium, the team was felicitated by the BCCI and a cheque of ₹125 crore (US$15 million) was handed over by Jay Shah and BCCI President Roger Binny. [86] [87] [88]
The final match was broadcast live in India on Star Sports, free-to-air broadcaster DD Sports and free on OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar. In South Africa the match was broadcast live on SuperSport.
