2000 (India) - Mohammad Kaif
The 2000 edition was held in Sri Lanka and it was the first time the Islanders were hosting the gala tournament. India got off to a flyer, winning the two matches in their group stage and had to stay content with one washed out game.
In the Super League stage, Mohammad Kaif led India to three wins from as many matches, setting up a semi-final clash with Australia, a match which was dominated completely by India on the back of a century from Ravneet Ricky.
In the final clash against the hosts, an inspired bowling performance from India restricted SL to 179 before the batsmen got them home without much fuss.
