INDIAN prime minister Narendra Modi congratulated his country's cricketers Saturday (29) after they won the T20 World Cup in a thrilling final against South Africa, ending an 11-year wait for a world-level title.
"We are proud of the Indian Cricket Team," Modi posted on X, formerly Twitter, adding: "This match was historic."
The prime minister, re-elected earlier this month, watched India lose the ODI World Cup final on home soil in Ahmedabad last year, at the world's biggest cricket stadium -- which is named after him.
In an accompanying video message Saturday, he told the side: "Today, 1.4 billion people are proud because of your spectacular performance.
"You won the World Cup on the ground. But in every village of India, you've won the hearts of people."

A total of 25 US states have filed a lawsuit against president Donald Trump's administration over a new round of tariffs imposed on imports from dozens of countries. The legal challenge argues that the tariffs are unlawful and go beyond the authority granted under federal law.
The tariffs, which range between 10 per cent and 12.5 per cent, took effect in July. They apply to imports from many US trading partners, including the UK, China, and the European Union. The Trump administration said the duties were introduced because these countries failed to properly address the use of forced labour in their supply chains.
