India beat arch rivals Pakistan in a thrilling T20 World Cup 2024 match at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The latest match in what is regarded as the “greatest rivalry” in world cricket wasn’t per se high on quality but still provided edge-of-the-seat action as a determined India team came back from almost the abyss to beat Pakistan by six runs in the low-scoring T20 World Cup contest.
Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra was all praise for the Indian Cricket team for ‘snatching an entirely improbable victory from the jaws of defeat.’ He commended the Men in Blue for ‘refusing to give up.’
You took the humiliation, wrapped it up, and gifted it to them.Because even with wickets left, they couldn’t achieve our paltry score.”
“You seduced an entire Country—our Northwestern Neighbours—into believing that they were on the verge of inflicting a humiliating defeat upon us”, he added.

You pulled off a Houdini act.
You snatched an entirely improbable victory from the jaws of defeat.
You caused them emotional damage that is incalculable.
I sentence you to be heroes forever…”
