T20 World Cup

the first T20 World Cup.India vs Pakistan Final .. What could have been better than this. The first T20 World Cup was played in South Africa in 2007. Under the leadership of new captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India defeated Pakistan in the ball out and started its campaign. The team reached the final, where they faced Pakistan. Both of these teams were considered to be an underdog when the tournament started.
At the Wanders' Stadium in Johannesburg, India decided to bat first before winning the toss. Virender Sehwag's injury caused a big setback to the team. In place of debutant Yusuf Pathan, Gautam Gambhir got off to open. On the fourth ball of the match, Mohammad Asif hit six sixes in the final. Gambhir hit fours and saw the edge of the bat.

After this, the feet of Indian batsmen, like that, were uprooted. Losing the wicket of Yusuf Pathan (8 ball, 15 runs), Robin Uthappa (8 runs), Yuvraj Singh (14 runs) and captain Dhoni (6 runs) broke the hopes of India's big score. Umar Gul and Sohail Tanvir bowled superbly. In such a situation, Gautam raised serious in-game responsibilities. Gambhir continued to score runs while handling one end and completed a fantastic half-century off 38 balls. Rohit Sharma (16 balls, 30 runs not out) after Gambhir (54 balls, 75 runs, 8 fours, 2 sixes) was dismissed in quick succession in the final overs and India's score of 20 overs after the loss of five wickets Over 157 runs
This score was a big challenge in the World Cup final. But Imran Nazir scored a scintillating 21 runs in the second over of Sreesanth and in the second over in the Indian camp. RP Singh brought his second over and he uproots Kamran Akmal's stumps. Dangerous Nazir (14 balls, 33 runs) too soon, Uthappa scored on the accurate throw. Misbah ul-Haq handled one end But Irfan Pathan, captain Shoaib Malik, boom boom, Shahid Afridi and Yasir Arafat, pushed Pakistan on backfoot. In the 17th over, Harbhajan hit three sixes in the next over, Misbah made the match alive again. In the next over, Sohail Tanvir hit two sixes and increased the tension of India.

Now Pakistan needed 13 runs in the last over. Despite Harbhajan's one over, Captain Dhoni has bowled the ball to the newcomer Joginder Sharma. Joginder opened the first ball wide, second dot, and on the third ball, Misbah scored a six. Joginder kept the wicket-to-wicket for the fourth ball and Misbah probably played the most wrong shot of his career. Misbah's scoop went straight to Sreesanth and India made their final by five runs. Irfan Pathan became the Man of the Match for the dangerous spell of 4-0-16-3. Mahendra Singh Dhoni's youth team became the T20 champion. This was the first tournament in the captaincy of Dhoni. After that, the journey that Capt. Cool had set, the history was created.
