The biggest gap between T20 World Cup titles
So far, only two teams have won the T20 World Cup twice (England and the West Indies). The West Indies won the titles in 2012 and 2016, while England won in 2010 and 2022. With the T20 World Cup 2024 coming up, Pakistan and India have a chance to not only win their second title but also create the record for the biggest gap between T20 World Cup titles.
India won the event in the inaugural edition (2007), while Pakistan claimed the title in the second edition (2009). If either of them wins the title, they’ll create the record for the biggest gap between T20 World Cup titles.
