In this decisive match, India's young wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel was cheering for the South African team led by Aiden Markram.

23-year-old Dhruv, who has been selected in the Indian team for the Zimbabwe tour, said in an interview to Sony, “When I was watching the final match and cheering for India, the South African team came into the winning position. After that, I started cheering for South Africa, then India made a comeback. After that, I cheered for South Africa more and India won the final.”
