12 years ago today (24 September) was a wonderful day in the history of Indian cricket. On the same day in 2007, Team India became the champions of the first edition of the T20 World Cup by dusting off rival Pakistan at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. With this, the Indian team managed to capture a world title after 1983 under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

In this tournament, the whole team had a united performance. Nevertheless, some players had contributed in this great victory of the Indian team. Without whom we would not have won that title.

1. In the final against Pakistan, Gautam Gambhir took the Indian innings by playing an innings of 75 runs. It was Gambhir’s innings, with the help of which the team scored a score of 157/5.

2. Irfan Pathan performed brilliantly. In particular, he took 3 wickets for 16 runs in 4 overs of his quota of the final. Due to which he became the man of the match in the funnel.

3.RP Singh took 12 wickets in 7 matches of the entire tournament. His bowling (4-0-13-4) against South Africa helped India secure a place in the semi-finals. In the final too, Pakistan had given 3 wickets.

Pakistan needed 13 runs to win in the last over of that final. Captain Dhoni gave the ball to the novice bowler Joginder Sharma. The breath of Indian fans was stuck due to Misbah-ul-Haq being at the crease. Questions began to arise everywhere – why was Joginder bowled ..?

But… that decisive over made this new Naval fast bowler Joginder Sharma the star overnight.

Last over: Joginder VS Misbah

Pakistan needed 13 runs in that last over to win-

Joginder bowled the first ball wide.

– The next ball, which was thrown for wide, missed Misbah. Not scored.

2. After this, Joginder threw full toss, on which Misbah hit the Pakistani hopes again with a six.

3. This ball gave India a chance to swing. Misbah, playing the scoop shot, bounced the ball to short fine-leg, which Sreesanth caught … That means Team India took the World Cup. And India won the first T20 World Cup by 5 runs.
