In the year 2001, Stuart Robertson, the marketing manager of the ECB, proposed a 20-over per innings game to county chairmen and he got 11-7 votes in favor of the proposal. This is how the T20 Format got its international recognition and proved to be the savior of the limited-over cricket.



ICC decided to take the format and script an iconic tournament with notable teams of different nations and offered a similar tournament like the ODI World Cup- the T20 World Cup and the first edition was organized in year 2007. 



Initially, it was determined that the ICC World Twenty20 would be held biennially, except when coinciding with a scheduled Cricket World Cup. In such cases, the ICC World Twenty20 would occur the preceding year. The inaugural tournament took place in 2007, followed by the second in 2009. The third edition was held in 2010, as the ODI World Cup was slated for 2011.



Let's get into lists of winners and runner-ups of the T20 World Cup from 2007 to 2024:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="icc-t-20-world-cup-winners-and-runner-ups">ICC T20 World Cup Winners and Runner-ups</h2>

It was the first ICC T20 World Cup and playing such a big tournament for the very first time, all teams were under extreme pressure. The top 12 teams of the cricket-playing nations were selected and the event was organized in South Africa. 



India and Pakistan were the finalists of the inaugural T20 event and India defeated Pakistan in the final. India posted the target of 158 runs and in the leadership of MS Dhoni, they restricted Pakistan to 152 and won the game and the first title by 5 runs.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="icc-t-20-world-cup-2009">ICC T20 World Cup 2009</h4>

West Indies were coming out as the beasts in the shortest form of cricket and they got the hosting opportunity in the 2010 edition. Unfortunately for them, they could not qualify for the semifinals but Pakistan were in the semifinals for the third straight time. 



England and Australia were the two finalists and England defeated Australia by 7 wickets at the Kensington Oval, Barbados to grab the first ICC T20 Title.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="icc-t-20-world-cup-2012">ICC T20 World Cup 2012</h4>



It was the second time in consecutive years that Sri Lanka was hosting (or co-hosting) an ICC World Cup and reached the finals but still ended in the losing corner.



Sri Lanka and West Indies were the two finalists of the 12-team tournament and West Indies lifted their first title by defeating the hosts by 36 runs.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="icc-t-20-world-cup-2014">ICC T20 World Cup 2014</h4>

Sri Lanka turned the table this time and ended the trophy drought on their end. They defeated India in the final by 6 wickets.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="icc-t-20-world-cup-2016">ICC T20 World Cup 2016</h4>



The World Cup 2016 is and will be remembered for the carnage by Carlos Brathwaite, who clubbed 6,6,6,6 in the last over to seal the deal for West Indies!

In May 2016, the ICC proposed the idea of holding a tournament in 2018, with South Africa as the potential host. However, the ICC subsequently abandoned this plan due to the top member nations' bilateral commitments in 2018.



The tournament was initially scheduled for 2020 but was postponed to 2021 due to the global pandemic. Although India was originally designated as the host, the tournament was ultimately relocated to the UAE and Oman.



Australia were the champions of the 2021 tournament defeating New Zealand in the finals.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="icc-t-20-world-cup-2022">ICC T20 World Cup 2022</h4>

Pakistan and England were the finalists and England won the game by 5 wickets and registered the second title to their names.

IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I: India have lost the first T20I of the five-match series and Zimbabwe has pushed back the World Champions 1-down in the opening match of the series. Here are the 2 possible changes that India might make for IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#2-changes-india-might-make-for-ind-vs-zim-2nd-t-20-i">2 Changes INDIA Might Make for IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I</a></li><li class=""><a href="#indi-as-likely-playing-11-for-ind-vs-zim-2nd-t-20-i">INDIA's likely Playing 11 for IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I</a></li></ul></nav></div>



India posted a mediocre batting display on 6th July at Harare Sports Club, Harare. They would have been happy to see just 116 on the board but Zimbabwe assured that it was enough for them to seal the deal.



Three players got to wear the Indian cap for the first time in the opening match of the series- IPL star Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel. All three had a debut not to remember. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/raza-jpg.webp" alt="Raza Stars as Zimbabwe Upset India In 1st T20I by 13 Runs | IND vs ZIM 1st T20I" class="wp-image-142605" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Raza celebrating Gill's wicket (Associate Press)</figcaption></figure>



India bowled first and apart from Khaleel Ahmed who went expensive and wicketless, all the bowlers were up to the mark. Bishnoi took 4 men down, Washington was economical and got 2 wickets and other bowlers contributed too to restrict the home team under 115. 



The chase started horribly as India lost their four wickets inside the batting powerplay with just 22 runs on the board. Shubman Gill(31), Washington Sunder (27) and Avesh Khan (16) were the only three batters to cross the 10-run mark.



Bowling was up to the mark but it was batting that let the Indian team down. There is a window for a couple of changes that can bring up the balance in the playing 11 of India.



Let's have a look at the 2 possible changes that India might make for IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-changes-india-might-make-for-ind-vs-zim-2nd-t-20-i">2 Changes INDIA Might Make for IND vs ZIM 2nd T20I</h2>



1- Sai Sudharsan IN, Abhishek Sharma OUT



Abhishek Sharma is, no doubt, an excellent player top of the order and he is one of the best aggressive batters at the opening spot but the Indian team has an experienced option against him and that is Sai Sudharsan. 



Sai has played for India in a 50-over game and he has delivered some great performances. Abhishek Sharma is, nevertheless, more lethal than Sai but the pitches there in Harare are a bit tacky and tricky so Sai would be a better option to bat.



2- Jitesh Sharma IN, Dhruv Jurel OUT



With almost a similar sort of skill set, the two wicketkeeper-batters Jitesh Sharma and Dhruv Jurel are having a bout for the wicketkeeping spot. Dhruv Jurel is a batter with better techniques but Jitesh Sharma's game is by power. 



At the number where these players are going to get chance to bat, most of the time, you need a power hitter and in that case, <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/jitesh-sharma-721867">Jitesh</a> is a better option than Dhruv.

Gautam Gambhir, who is all set to take over as the Indian coach in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka, has likely kept many upfront choices to the BCCI before his appointment. The KKR mentor who led the team to victory for the third time in the Indian Premier League after the first two times came under his captaincy was soon seen as the forerunner of Indian veteran head coach Rahul Dravid. 



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



 Dravid, who was on the way to marking his resignation, was stopped by the Indian skipper for the T20 World Cup, and this proved the best of moves as India?s triumph proved the veteran's efficiency in his leadership and experience. It was under Dravid?s supervision that Men in Blue, India, led by skipper Rohit Sharma, secured a long-cherished victory in the T20 World Cup 2024.

The KKR mentor wants his franchise?s assistant coach, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhishek_Nayar">Abhishek Nayar</a>, to step in as his coach for the Indian team.

</figure>



 Gambhir has reportedly reached a verbal decision with the ex-India player on a personal level, with chances indicating that as soon as Gambhir joins as Team India's head coach, there are chances for Nayar to step in as his next in command. 



The duo had results for the Kolkata Knight Riders; however, coaching a franchise team is much different from coaching a national side. Still, Team India and Indian fans would expect to see the duo in the Men in Blue colors and also let them secure a prominent place, just like the outgoing coach Rahul Dravid.

SL vs IND 2nd ODI: Big event for the home team as Sri Lanka defeated India in the second ODI of the series by 32 runs. The series is now 1-0 in the favor of the hosts and celebration all over Sri Lanka.



Another match, another fifty for skipper Rohit Sharma but all his efforts went in vain as India lost the match following the heroic 6-fer by Jeffrey Vandersay. It is really a big moment for Sri Lanka as they have avoided the series loss.



This win of Sri Lanka marks the 58th win over India in a total of 170 ODIs. Let's take a look at the match highlights of SL vs IND 2nd ODI:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SL vs IND 2nd ODI Match Summary</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Siraj-first-ball-wicket-1.jpg" alt="SL vs IND 2nd ODI Match Summary" class="wp-image-145193" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SL vs IND 2nd ODI: Siraj with the first ball wicket (Associate Press)</figcaption></figure>



The home team again got the right call on the toss and opted to bat first, which was the right decision on this slow surface. Siraj has been exceptional against Sri Lanka and this time again, he drew the first blood on the very first ball of the match. However, Fernando and Kusal Mendis got the back of the team and combined for a 74-run partnership.



Washington Sunder then dismissed both batters in two back-to-back deliveries and left Lanka with three down for 79. Sri Lanka were getting runs but also lost wickets from the other side on regular intervals.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Wellalage-and-Kamindu.jpg" alt="SL vs IND 2nd ODI" class="wp-image-145194" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SL vs IND 2nd ODI: Wellalage and Kamindu added valuable 79 runs at the lower order (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Wellalage and Kamindu came to the rescue again and added 79 important runs for the team and Sri Lanka reached 240 after their 50 overs. 



Indian openers started things in Rohit Sharma fashion. Sharma started with aggression and smashed his second fifty of the series and this time, he hit 50 on just 29 deliveries. India scored 76 runs in the first powerplay which was far better than what Sri Lanka scored in their powerplay. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Rohit-Sharma.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" class="wp-image-145195" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SL vs IND 2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma provides a solid start to India (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Rohit Sharma became the first prey for Sri Lanka and he got out on 64(44). The replacement of Hasaranga, <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/10469/jeffrey-vandersay">Jeffrey Vandersay</a> was the man for the team and perfectly filled his shoes. He again came in the 18th over and dismissed the set batter Shubman Gill and big fish Shivam Dube in the same over and brought Sri Lanka back in the game. 



After that, Vandersay single-handedly destroyed the Indian middle order and sent Virat, Shreyas and KL Rahul back to the pavilion for cheap. The two left-handers- Washington Sunder and Axar Patel started to set foot and weaved a partnership under really hard conditions. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/jaffery.jpg" alt="Jeffrey Vandersay" class="wp-image-145196" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">SL vs IND 2nd ODI: Jeffrey Vandersay blew the Indian Batting order (Associate Press)</figcaption></figure>



Axar Patel played the aggressor and Washington held on to the other end. He waited for bad balls and gave hope to Indian fans but not for too long. Skipper Charith Asalanka took a blinder to send him back to the pavilion. 



Washington Sunder never looked settled and lost his wicket soon to Asalanka. Siraj and Kuldeep tried to score a bit but the only thing they could do was reduce the defeat margin. Sri Lanka wrapped under 208 and won the game by 32 runs.



Jeffrey Vandersay delivered the match-winning performance for Sri Lanka and was awarded as player of the match. He also registered the career-best figures in the match (6-33). Charith Asalanka, the skipper of Sri Lanka, isn't having a good time with the bat but he has been on point with the ball in his hand.

SL vs IND 2nd ODI: Rohit's Heroic Went in Vain as Jeffrey Vandersay Blew up Indian Batting Order With a 6-fer

Fierce-rivals India and Australia are currently squaring off versus each other in the currently ongoing 2024-25 Border Gavaskar Trophy series. Following the completion of the first three games, the series is level at 1-1.
However, a big incident took place after the conclusion of the Gabba Test-Match. Team India's elite off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin made a shock announcement that he will be retiring from International Cricket and this decision shocked the entire Cricketing world. 
His decision to retire seems to have been executed due to the emergence of Washington Sundar and the preference which the Indian management gave to the youngster over Ashwin. However, it's believed that the 38-year-old off-spinner took the harsh decision of hanging up his boots as he wasn't given much importance in Overseas Test-Matches and this situation has persisted in the current BGT series as well.
In this situation, it's been reported by many sports news websites that following the retirement of Ashwin, one more star Indian player is likely to call time on their Test Career within a span of one week. And it's none other than pacer Mohammed Shami.
Shami is has missed out on selection from the remaining two matches due to a minor swelling in his left-knee. It's being reported that the seamer will wait till the end of the fourth Test-Match and if the BCCI decides that Shami will not be considered for the fifth and final match of the 2024-25 Border Gavaskar Trophy, then he is anticipated to announce his retirement from the longest format of the game. 
Some rumors are also suggesting that the pacer will only be ready to play five-day format matches for the Men in Blue if they manage to qualify for the final of the 2023-2025 cycle of WTC. 
<h2>What are the chances of Shami getting selected in Team India's squad for the upcoming 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy?</h2>
34-year-old Mohammed Shami is currently representing the team of Bengal in the ongoing 2024-25 edition of the Vijay Hazare tournament. This competition is considered as a crucial one for the fast bowler as his good performances with the ball will guarantee him a place in the Indian Cricket Team's squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy starting in February of next year. 
Reportedly, post the conclusion of next year's Mega-Event, Shami is planning to retire from International Cricket and place his focus solely on the IPL

It's likely that one more star player is going to follow in the footsteps of Ravi Ashwin and announce his retirement from Test Cricket post the conclusion of the BGT 2024 series vs Australia

Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.
Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.
Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form
Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.

Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.
In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.

Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. 
If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.

The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.
MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.
Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.
Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.

Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.

In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.
 
The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.
Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.
But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.

players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.
Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.
In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.
