How did the T20 World Cup 2007 final unfold? The 2007 T20 World Cup final between India and Pakistan was an unforgettable, nail-biting affair. India won the toss and opted to bat first, with standout performances from Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma helping the team post a total of 157/5. Gambhir led the charge with a brilliant 75 off 54 balls, hitting eight boundaries and two sixes in a high-pressure situation. Rohit contributed a crucial 30 off just 16 deliveries, which included two boundaries and a six. In response, Pakistan's chase was anchored by Misbah-ul-Haq, but early breakthroughs by RP Singh stalled their momentum. Pakistan found themselves in trouble at 77/6 by the 12th over, as India tightened their grip on the game. The final over was filled with drama as Pakistan needed 13 runs to win. Joginder Sharma was given the responsibility to bowl the decisive over, and at one point, Pakistan seemed poised to pull off a win, requiring just six runs off the last four balls. However, Misbah's attempt at a scoop shot led to his dismissal, sealing a thrilling five-run victory for India. RP Singh and Irfan Pathan were instrumental in India's success, each taking three wickets, while Joginder Sharma claimed two vital dismissals. Fast-forward to 2024, India clinched their second T20 World Cup title in Barbados. Led by Rohit Sharma, they defeated South Africa by seven runs in a closely contested final to bring home the trophy.
