T20 World Cup: India’s historic defence of their Men’s T20 World Cup title was built on a foundation of sheer dominance and a ‘team-first’ ethos. Under head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian team clobbered a record 106 sixes and became the first team in tournament’s history to maintain a run rate of above 10 runs per over.
Behind this relentless power-hitting run to the trophy, there were many contributors - Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan finished amongst the tournament's leading scorers with strike rates above 200, while the likes of Abhishek Sharma, skipper Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya chipping in whenever needed.
India overcame early slumps to deliver the goods in high-stakes knockout games and as the euphoria of World Cup victory still remains high, India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak sat down for an exclusive conversation with IANS on the feeling of becoming World Cup winners again, the selfless team culture, turning point of the campaign, and more.
