"Throughout the journey till today it has been very special and collectively as a team what we have achieved I think is right in front of you [trophy]. So, [I'm] very happy with that and the next goal is the Olympic gold and also the team that we work with," SKY said during the post-match reaction.
The LA28 Olympics will be played from July 14 and 29 nearly two years later in Los Angeles, USA. Top six teams in the ICC men's and women's rankings, one each from a continent, will qualify for the Olympics and India men's team is all but sure to qualify from Asia. All the matches will be played at the temporary Fairgrounds Stadium, in the city of Pomona, about 50km from Los Angeles.

Before the final began on Sunday, the Indian fans were on edge with the heartbreaking memories of 2023 ODI World Cup final loss at the same venue still fresh in their mind. The match, however, was nothing like the horror on November 19, 2023 when India were bowled out for just 240 runs in a 50-over contest.
On Sunday, India smahsed the leather of the ball, scoring 255/5 in 20 over and then bowled out New Zealand for just 159 runs, winning the match by 96 runs - everything a record in T20 World Cup history.
