Batting legend VVS Laxman has hailed India's resilience in their recent T20 World Cup victory, describing how the team snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against South Africa. Laxman emphasized that the passionate celebrations by the players and former head coach Rahul Dravid exemplified the value of this triumph.

Laxman, who now heads the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, pointed out the fervent celebrations by the squad which showed how much this victory meant to them. He highlighted individual moments of joy, including those of Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma, and the rare display of emotions from Dravid, who was handed the trophy by Rohit and Virat Kohli.
