2007 World T20 final: MS Dhoni’s young Indian brigade pip Pakistan to lift inaugural title
On September 24, 2007, a young Indian side under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni lifted the inaugural ICC World T20 in Johannesburg, South Africa. It was an unexpected victory as a team of youngsters sans the stalwarts gave India a taste of World glory. What made it even more special for the Indian team was that they beat their arch-rivals Pakistan in a tense final at the Wanderers. Nishad Pai Vaidya revisits that memorable day.
