India won against defending champions England in the semi-final on Thursday, setting up a T20 World Cup final against South Africa.
Chasing a target of 172, England collapsed to 103 all out in 16.4 overs, with Kuldeep Yadav finishing with figures of 3/19 and Axar Patel taking 3/23.
Team India celebrated their victory with an outpouring of emotions. A viral video shows an emotional and relieved skipper, Rohit Sharma, sitting outside the dressing room as the Indian cricketers make their way back. As the Indian captain reflects on the 68-run victory, Virat Kohli approaches him and tries to cheer him up by giving him a pat on the shoulder.
Suryakumar Yadav, who put up a 73-run stand with Rohit during the Indian innings, also pats his captain on the knee to cheer him up, as he looks overwhelmed after guiding India to their second successive World Cup final.
India, vying for their first major victory since the 2013 Champions Trophy, will face South Africa in the final at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday.
The Proteas are also undefeated, having crushed Afghanistan by nine wickets in their semi-final.
After losing to Australia in the 50-over World Cup final played at home last year, India will be competing in their second consecutive World Cup final.
