The Indian Cricket Team clinched victory in the very first edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007. With an inexperienced side, MS Dhoni and Co. made history in the inaugural tournament.

Rohit-Virat: the iconic duo
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli would be the perfect opening pair for the Indian cricket team. The two possess contrasting styles of batting; one is known for explosive knocks, while the other provides stability. Virat holds the record for the most runs in the tournament, while Rohit Sharma has been a consistent performer across seasons in the tournament.
Mr. Dependable Raina and Yuvraj
Yuvraj Singh has been a lucky charm for India in ICC tournaments, guiding the team to victory in two such events, including the T20 World Cup 2007. His record of hitting six sixes in an over remains etched in memory.
Similarly, Raina is a valuable addition to the team, contributing with both bat and ball, and displaying exceptional fielding skills. He epitomizes the spirit of teamwork.
