Ahmedabad: SuryakumarYadav’s staff, simply India’s biggest T20 outfit ever, created historical past on Sunday with an unprecedented third World Cup win, clinically demolishing a lacklustre New Zealand by 96 runs with an awe-inspiring batting efficiency and laser-precise bowling.

Suryakumar’s males turned the primary males’s worldwide staff to win successive World T20 titles and likewise the primary to say the trophy on dwelling turf.
