New Delhi, Sept. 24 -- September 24 holds a special place in Indian cricket history. On this day in 2007, India lifted the inaugural T20 World Cup, defeating arch-rivals Pakistan by five runs in a thrilling final at Johannesburg. In 2025, members of that historic side looked back with pride and nostalgia.

Player of the Final, Irfan Pathan, who picked up 3/16 to earn the Man of the Match award, remembered how India's domination over Pakistan in T20Is began on that day.

"What a day it was back in 2007. Where our World Cup dream was fulfilled. Beating Pakistan on regular basis started there in T20 cricket," Pathan said on X, taking a subtle jibe at the arch-rivals.
