T20 WC: PM Modi asked Rohit- How was the taste of the soil?

In the meeting that lasted more than an hour, Modi expressed happiness over India's victory and also expressed pleasure at overcoming difficult situations.

PM Modi asked captain Rohit Sharma that after the victory, when he put a piece of the pitch and the soil from there in his mouth, how did it taste. On this, Rohit put his side in front of the PM. On the other hand, Virat Kohli, who was struggling with poor form till the final, played a match-winning innings of 76 runs in the final. For this, he was given the Player of the Match award. The PM wanted to know what Virat was thinking before a big match like the final?

The Prime Minister asked Axar Patel, who scored 47 runs in the final, how he felt when he was sent up to bat in a difficult situation in the final. At the same time, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller were on the field and South Africa was on the verge of victory. Then the South African team needed 30 runs in 30 balls.

Led by Jasprit Bumrah, Indian bowlers made a great comeback. From Hardik Pandya to Arshdeep Singh, everyone won the hearts of the fans with their bowling and did not let South Africa score runs. PM Modi asked Bumrah what was going on in his mind at that crucial moment? PM Modi asked Hardik Pandya what plan he had made to save 16 runs against South Africa in the last over?

David Miller's catch on the first ball of Suryakumar Yadav's 20th over changed the course of the match. The Prime Minister seemed very happy with this too. He asked Surya a question about this. The Prime Minister asked Surya to relive those magical seven seconds. After Surya's catch, the South African team went on the backfoot, because then only the bowlers were left to bat.
