'I started cheering for South Africa': Dhruv Jurel's Huge Admission Following India's T20 WC Win

The India vs South Africa T20 World Cup 2024 final was a tough night for passionate fans and up until the end, it could have been anybody's game. However, when less than run a ball was needed for South Africa to score the remaining 24 runs, it was definitely an advantage South Africa at that time. Kudos to Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Hardik Pandya who pulled it back for India and eventually the Men-in-Blue won the match by 7 runs.

Dhruv Jurel started cheering for South Africa so that opposite would happen

Some of the most optimistic fans might have lost hope when South Africa needed 24 runs in 26 balls. Heinrich Klassen and David Miller were in the middle and yet another loss in the final was lurking around Team India. But the bowlers did the job for India and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Reflecting on the result, it has become a past that every Indian fan would want to reminisce again and again but when Team India was on the brink of losing many of the Indian cricket fans might have prayed to the universe to shower luck on Team India. Mumbai Indians and Indian player Dhruv Jurel was also in the bracket, and his way was similar to Praful Billore's.

"when I was watching the Final and cheering for India, South Africa came in the winning position, so I started cheering for South Africa and India made a comeback. I kept cheering for South Africa and India won the World Cup".  He said in a video posted by BCCI.

While luck may or may not have played a part, it was the sheer hard work of Team India that won the World Cup.
