Ahmedabad, March 8: The T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand is set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad this Sunday. Fans across the nation are buzzing with excitement. Former cricketer Lakshmi Ratan Shukla has confidently stated that India will win the final and make history.
In an interview from Howrah, Shukla emphasized the significance of today’s match. “This final is a monumental event. Cricket fans from all over the country will be watching closely. We expect the Indian team to perform well and seize the World Cup trophy,” he said.

Regarding the New Zealand team, Shukla acknowledged their strong batting performance in the tournament. “India cannot afford to take this match lightly, as T20 matches can turn on a dime,” he warned.
He also praised Indian opener Sanju Samson, highlighting his impressive partnerships in the last two matches. “I expect him to score runs in the final as well,” Shukla remarked.
The former cricketer concluded by stating that the final promises to be thrilling. “India has never beaten New Zealand in a T20 World Cup. If we win today, many records will be set and broken.”
