Sharma, who took to Instagram, praised the team's collective efforts throughout the tournament and highlighted the significant contributions of each player on the squad.
In a thrilling final, India posted a record 255/5, largely thanks to Abhishek Sharma's quickfire 52 in 21 balls and Sanju Samson's brilliant partnership with Ishan Kishan. Samson, not only surpassed Virat Kohli's previous record but also became the Indian batter with the highest runs in a T20 World Cup edition.
