Cricket News Desk.. Year 2007. This was the year when ICC organized the T20 World Cup for the first time. This tournament was played in South Africa. In this tournament, Team India was playing under the captaincy of new captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. No one expected that Team India would become the world champion, that too in the format which they rarely play. But Dhoni and Indian cricket had something else in store. On this day i.e. on 24 September, India won the first T20 World Cup and from here the 'Mahi era' started.

The final of the tournament was a dream final for any cricket lover as the title match was played between two arch rivals. India and Pakistan clashed for the first title. The venue was New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, where India won the title by defeating Pakistan in the last over in a nail-biting match.

24 years of drought ends
India won the title of world champion after 24 years. Earlier, Team India had won the World Cup in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. However, this was the ODI World Cup. At that time, T20 had not even started at the international level. After Kapil Dev's historic victory, India again won the title of world champion after 24 years.
