Kanpur, March 8

Popular folk singer Malini Awasthi has dedicated a special song to Team India's win, sharing her hopes for the team's victory.

Speaking to ANI, the singer extended also her best wishes for the Indian players as Team India faces New Zealand in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday.

Coming to the match, Majestic fifties from Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and a late cameo from Shivam Dube propelled India to a massive 255/6

India posted the highest total ever in the final of a T20 World Cup. Dube slammed an unbeaten 26 off just 8 balls. He smashed James Neesham for 24 runs in the final over.

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and elected to field against India in Ahmedabad.

India's opening duo, Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, have exposed New Zealand's lack of big-match experience in the powerplay.

After a watchful first couple of overs, India hit top gear, clobbering 24 in the fourth over as Samson-Sharma became the first opening duo to score a 50+ stand in a T20 World Cup final.

Joining the packed crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad were several celebrities who also cheered aloud from the stands. Among there were actors Aparshakti Khurana, Karan Kundrra, and Tejasswi Prakash.

Celebrities also took to their social media handles and shared their excitement as many turned on their television screens to catch the live match.

Shivam Dube's last over was pure fire! 24 runs! The Kiwis had no answer. The atmosphere in Ahmedabad must have been electric. Wish I was there in the stadium.

As someone new to following cricket in India, the passion is incredible. From the players to the singers to everyone on the street, the entire country stops for this. Amazing to witness.

While I love the celebration, I hope the focus remains on the players' hard work. The celebrities and songs are fun, but let's not forget the years of training these athletes put in. Well done, Team India!

Finally breaking the knock-out jinx against New Zealand! This win feels extra special. Samson played a gem of an innings. Can't wait to hear Malini ji's song - her voice is blessings for the team.
