Shah expressed hope that India would win both world titles.
He praised Indian players for winning the T20 World Cup title and said in a video: I am congratulating Team India for the historical win. I want to dedicate the victory to coach Rahul Dravid, captain Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja.
It was our third final in the past year. We lost WTC final on June 23. We won heart but could not win the World Cup final on November 23.
