On June 29, 2024, India was finally able to put an end to the 11-year wait to win an ICC tournament and a 17-year wait for the ICC T20 World Cup when they defeated South Africa by 7 runs.

In this long wait since the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013, one of the talismans of the Indian team was Virat Kohli, who always turned up for the team while they lost a total of 8 knockout games in the 2013-2023 period.
