On this day: MS Dhoni's Team India lift maiden T20 World Cup in 2007 after Misbah ul Haq's mistimed scoop is caught by a nervous Sreesanth
On this day, 15 years ago, Team India did something that was least expected of them. The MS Dhoni-led India clinched the inaugural T20 World Cup title in 2007 in Johannesburg, South Africa, on this very day, September 24. The championship win was celebrated amid huge fanfare in India throughout the night as India beat Pakistan in the final to make a doubly special win. The title win somewhat killed the demons of the early ouster of Rahul Dravid-led team from the 2007 ODI World Cup in March. The day also marked the arrival of Dhoni, the captain. In only his first tournament as captain, he achieved a world title.
