New Delhi/IBNS: As the country is still experiencing euphoric celebrations from last evening with Team India winning the T20 World Cup, the Uttar Pradesh Police have awarded "life-term" to Rohit Sharma's squad for "breaking South African hearts".

"Breaking News: Indian bowlers found guilty of breaking South African hearts. Sentence: Lifelong love from a billion fanss," the UP police posted on X.

Social media was flooded with congratulatory messages and images of celebratory scenes as India edged past South Africa by seven runs in the final match of T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval, Barbados to clinch an ICC title after 11 years.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the Indian Cricket Team for bringing the ICC T20 World Cup "home in style", and President Droupadi Murmu commended their "never-say-die" spirit.

Two of India's greatest-ever cricketers - Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma - announced their T20I retirements soon after the T20 World Cup win.

While Kohli announced his retirement minutes after the historic triumph, India captain Rohit Sharma announced it in the official post-match press conference.
