2) The 2007 World T20
Rating: 7/10
India had announced what was a weakened side for the inaugural World T20, still having its reservations over the shortest format of the game. A number of stalwarts like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid were ignored for the tournament in South Africa.
MS Dhoni had been handed the captaincy a mere 3 years after his debut in the game. He had a young squad at his disposal and would mould them in his image. India played a brave brand of cricket that landed them the trophy.
Dhoni was seen sporting long straightened hair in the tournament here. Compared to his look from a couple of years ago, the colours were gone and his hair was jet-black. It was a look that would be copied on the streets of India after Dhoni led the team to the trophy.
This picture is from 2007 and is one of the most iconic images in Indian cricket history. Pakistan lost their final wicket, and India were champions.
