Justin Langer relishes very special T20 World Cup trophy as Australia rally against odds to script history

T20 World Cup 2021: Speaking after their maiden triumph in the T20 World Cup, Australia head coach said the players' ability to embrace fun helped them soak in pressure and deliver big in the UAE. The Men in Yellow defeated New Zealand in the final on Sunday in Dubai.

Australia embraced fun in bio-bubbles in the UAE during their T20 World Cup 2021 campaign and it felt like a reunion when they got back their big names to defy odds and win the elusive trophy in the shortest format of the game, according to their head coach Justin Langer.

There was considerable pressure on Justin Langer as talks of dressing room unrest had cropped up even as they suffered one-sided series defeats in West Indies and Bangladesh in the lead up to their T20 World Cup campaign. However, there was no lack of belief from within the group even as they were not billed as pre-tournament favorites for the first time in recent ICC tournament history, Langer said.
