India cricket team star Virat Kohli couldn’t ask for a better end to the day as he joined the list of Indian cricketers who have won the World Cup twice. The Men in Blue edged past South Africa to end their ICC trophy drought, finally adding the trophy that they have been chasing for so long to the cabinet.
With this win, Kohli joins legends including MS Dhoni, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh and others who have been a part of the team that has lifted the World Cup twice (both ODI and T20 WC).

Virat Kohli was a part of the ODI World Cup winning Indian team in 2011. Cut to 2024, he has now doubled his count as India have clinched the T20 World Cup. MS Dhoni, Yuvraj, Harbhajan, Sreesanth, Yusuf Pathan, Sreesanth and Gambhir were all part of the team that won the inuagural T20 World Cup in 2007 and the ODI World Cup in 2011.
Virat Kohli shines in final clash against SA
Only twice in his all 7 innings in this World Cup did Virat Kohli enter a two-digit score. However, when the stakes were at all-time high, the best player of this generation stood up and ministered India with what was a superb display of batsmanship.
Had Kohli not come up with his 59-ball 76, things would’ve certainly been extremely bleak for India. Alongside Axar Patel, Kohli was critical for India handing a 177-run target for the Proteas in the Final.
