T20 World CupIn pictures: India’s T20 world champions from 2007 and where they are nowMost have retired, some have starred in films, only two remain for this year’s World Cup1/14 Be it his decision to pick the likes of Virender Sehwag and Robin Uthappa for the bowl-out against Pakistan or the all-important choice of Joginder Sharma for the most important over of his life in the final, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s composure and intuition carried the day in South Africa, where he was also India’s second-highest run-scorer. Were it not for his excellent 75 at the Wanderers, during which he almost carried his bat through the innings, India would probably not have been world champions. Outside cricket, Irfan recently starred in a Tamil movie named Cobra (streaming on SonyLIV)9/14 Making his T20I debut for India in the 2007 World T20 final, Yusuf Pathan replaced an injured Sehwag and got India off to a flyer against Pakistan. He was also a part of the Delhi Capitals coaching staff in last season’s IPL11/14 Harbhajan Singh’s best performance from the 2007 World T20 would probably be his spell of two for 24 against New Zealand, incidentally the only game India lost in the tournament. His spell against South Africa, where he picked up four for just 13, is still considered one of the best bowling performances at a World Cup.
