Tilak played a magnificent knock under pressure, reaching a gritty half-century that anchored the chase. Shivam Dube provided the explosive finish needed, hitting crucial boundaries and sixes to bring India within touching distance of victory.
The win wasn't just about this final match; it was a testament to India's overall dominance in the tournament. Abhishek Sharma finished as the top run-scorer of the tournament, with a remarkable haul of 314 runs, a testament to his explosive batting at the top.
