It was on this day, 14 years ago, when Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Team India defeated Pakistan by five runs to lift the inaugural T20 World Cup at the Wanderers in Johannesburg, South Africa.
14 years have passed since that evening of September 24, 2007, but still that moment of Mahendra Singh Dhoni lifting the World T20 trophy is as fresh as it can get in the memories of cricket fans across the country. #OnThisDay in 2007!The @msdhoni-led #TeamIndia created history as they lifted the ICC World T20 Trophy.

In a match that swung both ways, Misbah-ul-Haq mistimed a scoop off Joginder Sharma’s bowling into Sreesanth's hands and India became the first-ever world champions of the cricket's shortest format on this day at the Wanderers in Johannesburg, South Africa.
