India claimed their third consecutive ICC title with a dominant 96-run victory over New Zealand in the T20 World Cup final in Ahmedabad. The Black Caps were bundled out for 159 while chasing 255, never recovering from India's blistering 98-0 start in just seven overs. This marks New Zealand's fourth World Cup final defeat across formats, extending their white-ball drought.

India's batting depth proved overwhelming as Sanju Samson's 97 not out and contributions from younger stars like Abhishek Sharma highlighted their firepower. The victory continues India's reign as the preeminent white-ball side, having lost just once across three ICC titles. Jasprit Bumrah's bowling masterclass, claiming four wickets with slower deliveries, sealed the emphatic win and underscored India's formidable combination of explosive batting and tactical bowling.

New Zealand's semifinal heroics against South Africa, featuring Finn Allen's record 33-ball century, proved insufficient against India's relentless attack. With key players like Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry in their mid-thirties, the Black Caps must regroup for upcoming World Cups in 2027 and 2028. Meanwhile, India's dynasty builds with emerging talents like Vaibhav Suryavanshi waiting in the wings, making them virtually unbeatable in the current white-ball landscape.
