It was Dhoni who was the captain in 2007 when India won their first ever T20 World Cup title, beating Pakistan in the final. Four years later, he would lead them to title triumph at the 2011 ODI World Cup before completing the troika of ICC white-ball titles as captain by winning the 2013 Champions Trophy in England.

However, after 2013, India came made it to the final of ICC events as many as five times but ended up runners-up on all occasions. Their 11-year-old wait for a global trophy came to an end on Saturday with a thrilling win over South Africa at the Kensington Oval.

Batting first, Virat Kohli’s 76 and Axar Patel’s 47 guided India to 176/7 in 20 overs.

And then they kept South Africa to 169/8 with player-of-the-tournament Jasprit Bumrah (2/18) producing a game-changing spell to help India bounce back and seal the deal.
