Back in 2008, T20 Cricket was still a relatively a new format and nations only played a handful of matches among them. Yet, the 2007 T20 World Cup triumph in South Africa made the approach of the Indians to the new format quite serious. During India’s tour to Australia in 2007/08, India lost the Test series but scripted a famous victory at the WACA.

The lone T20 match was sandwiched between the Tests and the ODI series during that tour. India was pretty confident being the defending World Champions, but it is never easy to defeat the Kangaroos at their own backyard. The Indian batting display was sorrowful with only a single batsman attaining the double-figure mark.

Stalwarts like Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir failed to show their class and the visitors were dismantled for 74 runs in front of the strong crowd present at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Following the T20, the “Men in Blue” displayed brilliant performances in the ODIs and won the Tri-Nation which also included Sri Lanka but this T20 will forever remain in memory.
