The 2007 T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan ended in a dramatic tie, and India went on to defeat Pakistan 3-0 in a “bowl out” encounter. Virender Sehwag, Robin Uthappa, and Harbhajan Singh were some of the team’s efficient bowlers. When Yuvraj Singh smashed six sixes off England pacer Stuart Broad in a single over during the 2007 World Cup, he broke the previous record.
In the historic final over of the 2007 World Cup, Joginder Sharma held off 13 runs to help Team India win the inaugural competition. For his 319 runs in 6 matches during the 2014 T20, Virat Kohli was voted the tournament’s player of the year. In the 2016 T20, Kohli won the title of tournament play for the second time in a row. He ranked second on the list of players with the most runs, trailing only Tamim Iqbal of Bangladesh, scoring 295 runs in 6 innings and 273 runs in 5 innings.
