South Africa are still without a major global title with just the 1998 Champions Trophy to show for all their endeavours
Virat Kohli scored a fighting half-century (76 off 59 balls, 6 fours, 2 sixes) as India overcame early setbacks to post 176 for seven in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa on Saturday.
India, after winning the toss and electing to bat, were reduced to 34 for three in the fifth over as skipper Rohit Sharma (9), Rishabh Pant (0) and Suryakumar Yadav (3) fell early.
But Kohli and Axar Patel (47 off 31 balls) revived India's hopes with their fine partnership as Shivam Dube (27 off 16 balls) also produced a crucial cameo.
For South Africa, Keshav Maharaj (3-0-23-2) and Anrich Nortje (4-0-26-2) took two wickets each.
India's 176 is the highest total in a T20 World Cup final by a team batting first.
On this ground in Bridgetown, Barbados, the highest target successfully chased in a day T20 is 173.
