But it was actually India that became the winner of the T20 World Cup 2007 by defeating Pakistan in the final match, which took place in the Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. India was a strong team from the get-go, especially because of the incredibly powerful batting lineup, like Gautam Gambhir, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, and others. And yes, this was the very tournament where Yuvraj Sign made the record of hitting six sixes in an over in the history of the T20 format. But yeah, it was not all batting for India that did the magic, nah, the bowling attack was super good too.

T20 World Cup 2009 Winner – Pakistan

At the moment though, teams like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and South Africa are the best ones out there. But this time, it was Pakistan that took the trophy home. Now, the Pakistan team in 2009’s T20 World Cup had a number of the same players as the first tournament, and that kinda was the reason why Pakistan performed super well this time. In the semifinals, Pakistan defeated South Africa and now was the time to face Sri Lanka in the final match. That day in the Lord’s, London, Sri Lanka put up a decent score of 138/6 in 20 overs, but that wasn’t even an issue for Pakistan because they won the match by 8 wickets in just 18.4 overs.

They smashed Australia in the finals at Kensington Oval, Barbados, showing off their top-notch batting and bowling.

Jump to 2012, and the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka was where the West Indies shone, grabbing their first title. It was all about big hits and big vibes, with Darren Sammy’s crew winning hearts all over. The final against Sri Lanka in Colombo? Edge-of-your-seat stuff, but the West Indies pulled through, all thanks to Marlon Samuels’ epic innings. And who could forget Chris Gayle breaking out into “Gangnam Style” to celebrate? That was the West Indies for you, pure joy and a truckload of entertainment.

T20 World Cup 2014 Winner – Sri Lanka

Fast forward to 2014, and Sri Lanka finally got their hands on the trophy in Bangladesh, after being the Runner-Up too long. Beating India in the final in Dhaka was the cherry on top, especially for legends Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, who bowed out of T20 internationals on a high note. Sangakkara was the best batsman to support the team, getting the runs needed, and with Lasith Malinga’s funky but super-fast bowling and leadership, Sri Lanka showed they were the bosses. What a way to say goodbye to those two cricket giants!

T20 World Cup 2016 Winner – West Indies
