The 2007 inaugural T20 World Cup has to be one of the memorable tournaments in the history of Indian cricket. Who can forget the excellent captaincy by MS Dhoni, the towering sixes from the bat of Yuvraj Singh and that mind-boggling last over by Joginder Sharma in the finals that helped India win the final against Pakistan by just 5 runs?
Apart from the victories, the tournament was instrumental in revealing the next generation of talented cricketers that the nation would have in the form of Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Gautam Gambhir and the like. It also marked the beginning of the ascent of MS Dhoni as the phenomenal captain that he'd become in the future years.
