The T20 World Cup is the premier international Twenty20 cricket tournament, organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Since its inception in 2007, the tournament has captured the imagination of cricket fans around the globe by offering high-octane action and unforgettable moments every two years.

The journey of the T20 World Cup began in 2007, with MS Dhoni's India emerging as the inaugural champions after a thrilling final against Pakistan in Johannesburg. And latestly, Rohit Sharma became the first Indian captain after Dhoni to win the illustrious trophy. 

This victory not only established India as a dominant force in the shortest format but also set the stage for the tournament's immense popularity.

The second edition in 2009 saw Pakistan redeeming themselves by clinching the title, defeating Sri Lanka at Lord's. The 2010 tournament witnessed England securing their first major ICC trophy, before West Indies won in 2014 and 2016. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka tasted victory in 2014 by defeating India.

After a gap due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 T20 World Cup was relocated to the UAE and Oman, where Australia claimed their maiden T20 World Cup. And then, England became the reigning champions in 2022 by defeating Pakistan in a closely contested final, held in Australia.
