Immediately after clinching the final victory at Barbados in West Indies, Kohli was spotted video calling his family from the ground.

Kohli, who was awarded the Player of the Match for his 76-run vital knock in the final against South Africa, also announced his retirement from T20 cricket on Saturday.

"This was my last T20 World Cup, this is exactly what we wanted to achieve. It's been a long wait for us, waiting to win an ICC tournament," said the former India captain.

The celebrations have begun in Barbados 🥳

In the final match which was almost in South Africa's grip, India's premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, all-rounder Hardik Pandya and a stunning catch by Suryakumar Yadav pulled things back for the men-in-blue.

With the back on the wall, Rohit Sharma-led side came back strongly to upset all plans of South Africa and clinched a 7-run win.
