In Their Own Story
The Hyderabad sun had long set, but the tension inside the stadium was palpable. Ben Stokes, eyes wide with desperation, sprinted back for a second run that never came. The throw from Krunal Pandya found the stumps just as Stokes dived, his bat inches away from safety. A collective roar erupted from the Mumbai dugout as Rohit Sharma lifted his arms, the weight of three titles now resting on his shoulders. In the chaos of the celebration, the realization settled in: they had done it again.
